My Redeemer

This week in my class, my instructor played us this video. I was really touched by this video which shows the kind of love a father has for his child. It is a beautiful depiction of God's love for His children. It was a great way to start off my day. I am blessed to be able to have godly professors who can encourage us to live for the Lord.

"Father (Dick Hoyt) and son (Rick Hoyt) have joined many marathons, triathlons and other athletic competitions. But, what makes them really different from others is that Rick suffers from cerebral palsy - a condition involving permanent tightening of the muscles caused by damage to the brain during the time of birth. Rick was disabled at birth by a loss of oxygen to his brain because his umbilical cord was wrapped around his neck.
.
Therefore, Rick does not swim. Rick does not cycle. Rick does not run.
.
When his father swims, Rick is lying in a small boat being pulled by his dad. When the father cycles, son is sitting in the seat-pod from his wheelchair, attached to the front of the bike. When the father runs, he pushes Rick in a special wheelchair. They have been going over hundreds of finishing lines throughout US for the past 27 years."
