You Were Loved Into Existance

From Pastor Tod Bolsinger:

I looked at Charlie and we both had tears in our eyes.

While out on the Marathon run in the Ironman, I was more aware than ever that I was loved into existence.

I was running with one of my best friends, in a beautiful place, doing something that I barely dreamed I could do.

I was running into the arms of my family who loves me and cheers me on in all the crazy things I do.

I was running with the prayers and support of my friends back home, a couple who had even called me on my cell phone to assure me of their prayers for me, others who had emailed or posted on my blog to let me know that they were thinking of me.

I thought back to all that I had experienced in these past three months and all that I have experienced being at San Clemente Presbyterian Church these past nine years (I had plenty of time to think about all of this—it’s a long run!).

I found myself well up with tears again because without question, I could say that I know that I was loved into existence.

And without even intending to do so, I found myself thinking and praying for others.
