Who Did You Walk For?

Today St. Louis embarked upon another Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure. I'm told that over 70,000 were in attendance. I've seen Face book statuses where some walked for their moms, aunts, cousins, etc. who have passed on. While I think that is a beautiful thing, I begin to think about who I want to walk for.

I want to walk for my daughter and her friends. I want to walk for my granddaughter and her friends. I want to walk for the grandchildren of my friends. Although these little women have yet to grace this earth, I want to walk today so that they won't have to walk tomorrow. I challenge you to ask yourself who you will walk for? Will you wait until next June to lace up your Shox?

Caution! Hazardous to your health!

Just felt like writing, so here goes;

IPECAC is a commonly used syrup to induce vomiting after accidental poisoning. Once taken, the syrup stimulates an area of the brain and the gastric system and forces it to get rid of whatever was taken in. Pediatricians recommend keeping it in the home for emergencies.

Isn't this jus' how God works? He allows us to "take in" things and people although they are hazardous to our health. Jus before what we CHOSE to ingest can do any real harm, God gives you a little IPECAC (grace, mercy, do-over, etc.) and up comes all of the things and people that could have killed you!

I'm so grateful for new mercies I see!
