Tankful Tursday !

Every once in a while, God shows us all we have to be Thankful for. It is such that I present this story as my Tankful Tursday post. The video that you will see, will probably bring tears to your eyes, but how truly Tankful are you?

For me, every single breath I take I am thankful for! There but for the grace of God go I! Thanks Bronie for sharing.

Have a wonderful day!

A son asked his father, "Dad, will you do a marathon with me?"

The father, despite having a heart condition, says, "Yes."

They went on to complete the marathon together. The father and son went on to join other marathons, the father always saying 'Yes' to his son's request of going through the race together.

One day, the son asked his father, "Dad, let's join the Ironman together." To which, his father also said, "Yes."

For those who don't know, Ironman is the toughest triathlon ever. Held every fall in the US city of Kailua-Kona, Hawaii, the race encompasses three endurance events; a 2.4 mile (3.8 km) ocean swim in Kailua-Kona Bay, a 112 mile (180 km) bike ride across the Hawaiian lava desert to Hawi and back, and a marathon (26.2 mile, 42 km) along the coast of the Big Island (from Keauhou to Keahole Point to Kailua-Kona); finishing on Ali'i Drive.

Father and son went on to complete the race together.

Thank you Scott for posting this video. It is an amazing story which I haven't heard before. It touched me very deeply. It helps me believe that God is there for us as His children, every step we take, often times when we feel that we are crippled or in fear, chiding us, pushing us, carrying us. Simply amazing.
