Bells of joy on race day
LAST WINTER I found a way to contribute, as a Christian Scientist, when I was asked to participate in an event that raises money to combat a disease.
My son was participating in a 5K run for the Honor Society at his high school just before Christmas. It sounded like it would be a lot of fun. I got two other family members to sign up with me to support his fundraising efforts. After I'd committed to the event, I found out the money raised was going to go to medical research for a particular disease. So I decided that in addition to running, my focus would be to actively pray for the eradication of this disease and for the thousands who needed to break free from suffering.
