I'm on something of a Steve Green kick this week! I have several of his songs running through my head after my Google search earlier this week.

   This one is called 'Find us Faithfull' and I simply can't shake it right now. Between the tears and sweet memories of so many faithful souls who I know that have gone before and left Godly examples to me, and the overwhelming desire to leave footprints behind me that will guide others to the Savior this song has been speaking to me for days now!

   It is so encouraging to remember that others are cheering us on to the finish line!!  I'm no good at physical races (asthma makes running a 'challenge' to say the least!) but two of my brothers are very good athletes and it is such fun to stand near the finish and cheer them over the line. Now to imagine that my Grandparents and other dear older friends are all there cheering me on the same way is such an encouraging thought!

   But I also want to leave behind me memories that leave no doubt as to what I believed! I want to leave my children and others with a clear understanding of where I've gone to and how they can get there too! May I not just lead a mediocre Christian life, just doing 'enough' to get to Heaven, just coasting along to the end. I want others to find me faithful, see 'the fire of my devotion lighting the way', may I leave footprints that lead them to the Lord!

   My life's passage is Titus 2. This songs goes along those lines I think. Learning from those ahead of us on the journey, but at the same time leaving lessons to be learned by those coming up behind us too! How exciting to realise that we are right in the middle of this 'baton relay' of a race! Other's have passed the baton to us and now it is our turn to run our lap to the best of our abilities and prepare one day to hand the baton on to those who come next!

   Be encouraged today! And enjoy the song!
