You CAN

This video clip tells the tale of father and son, Dick and Rick Hoyt. The son was apparently paralysed from neck down and could not move. However, the father did not want his son to give up on his life and kept on encouraging him. As an attempt to show his son the value of not giving up, he joined the triathlon with his son and managed to complete it. A triathlon is a sport competition that involves the need to run long distance, swim and cycle. During one marathon, along with his son, he completed the race only 35 minutes behind the winner. Total respect. It is really inspiring as it shows us not to give up even in the face of adversities. As Winston Churchill said when United Kingdom faced the Germans in World War 2, "Never, never give up"

Apart from that, this also shows us how God, our heavenly father always carry us on with the race even when we are in our pits. Even when we are unable to carry ourselves to the finish line, God is always there to carry us through. I wish to encourage all of my friends out there, do not be discouraged. Do not give up. God is always there to help you. God is always helping you.
