Thankful Thursday

  

Relay for Life 2010

A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to support our communities Relay for Life.  My school sponsored a team again this year and we had a great time supporting each other.  Our team captain, Laura is a cancer survivor and our students were much more involved in fund-raising this year!  The relay was much less eventful than last years but so much more meaningful.  I have had family members and friends who have lost their fight and others who have won their battle!  What a praise those wins are...Thank you Lord!  I walked in honor of my Uncle Jeff who lost his fight with Leukemia earlier this year.  Cancer can be so cruel and I am thankful for a day and an event that can bring people together to support each other.  I am thankful for the time and memories we have had with our loved ones who have lost their fight.  I am most thankful for my faith in the Lord that we will be reunited again with each of them in the glorious kingdom of heaven!
