Why Walk When You Can Run

Cody McCasland was born without knees and his lower legs were so badly deformed they had to be amputated. Some said he was going to die, others said he would never walk again. But Cody, now six, has proven them all wrong. Cody not only walks - he runs in races! His walking legs are decorated with pictures of his hero, Spiderman. His running legs with highly specialized feet used by paralympians in competition are adorned with endorsments! Cody plays in a city soccer league, takes karate and ran his first set of races this year winning gold in the 60 m, 200 m, and 400 m races. Next year he wants to add competitive swimming to his list!

How often have we complained about our circumstances and situation to the point where we allow them to slow us down or even stop us in our tracks? Shame on us! I was having a pretty good pitty party earlier today...now I am humbled. We can learn a lot from Cody. Why walk when you can run?
