Hebrews 12:1-3Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverence the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfector of our faith, who for the joy before him set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.Yesterday, this familiar passage took on a different meaning. Amy has crossed the finish line, into the arms of Jesus, and now joins the cloud of witnesses cheering her family on. Three cheers for Amy who ran the race :)
