what are you running for?

Mukama Yebazebwe (praise the Lord)
Hello Guys,
We are off to Mukono this Saturday (1st March,2008) to check out the progress of the construction project. My prayer is that the Lord will avail to His work always. Read this joke/story and be blessed.
Your success in life's race depends on your reason for running. One of Aesop's fables tells of a dog that stumbled upon a hare. Swift and determined, the hound chased the hare over many miles. Finally, the hound gave up in exhaustion. Seeing the race, a by-stander praised the hero-hare. He mocked the loser. Indignantly the hound replied, "You forget that it is one thing to run for your dinner and another to run for your life."

Many people are "running for their dinner." They are smart and driven. Yet they are pursuing just one more job to pay the bills. Their highest goal is to provide for the body's needs and pleasures. "'Let us eat and drink,' you say, 'for tomorrow we die!'" While this quote sounds like a beer commercial, it actually comes from the Old Testament prophet Isaiah (22:13). He is describing a pervasive view of life in both his day and our own. As many discover the hard way, this worn out view of life is empty and meaningless.

DO NOT RUN FOR YOUR DINNER,BUT RUN FOR YOUR LIFE
