Are We Participating With Purpose?

Good Morning Christian Peeps!  How are we running our race?  How are we doing our job?  How are we rearing our children?  How are we living our lives?  It's a question not many of us want to face.  1 Corinthians Chapter 9 talks about running the race so as to win the prize....not aimlessly.  Sometimes I find myself half doing something, just need to get through the day.  Just doing enough to get by....but what happens is spills over into everything that we do and we find ourselves hardly doing anything with purpose.  Let's not lose that winning spirit.  Let's not let ourselves get tired of the race.  Let's breathe new life into everything that we do!  It's time to run with purpose, it's time to parent with purpose and it's time to love with purpose.  Let everything we do be the very best!  Be Blessed!  

-- "Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last; but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. Therefore I do not run like a man running aimlessly; I do not fight like a man beating the air. No, I beat my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize.” – 1 Corinthians 9:24-27
