A Thought from a Reader

I really enjoyed reading the article, “Ignoring the Finish Line,” from the March 2017 issue of the New Era.

Helping others is much more important and meaningful than racing for a medal. It not only helps them, but it also blesses our lives. Learning to be loving and caring is very important. It is a Christlike attribute. Thank you for sharing this truly inspiring story.
