Amazing Love
A son asked his father, 'Dad, will you take part in a marathon with me?'
The father who, despite having a heart condition, says 'Yes'.
They went on to complete the marathon together. Father and son went on to join other marathons, the father always saying 'Yes' to his son's request of going through the race together.
One day, the son asked his father, 'Dad, let's join the Ironman together.' To which, his father said 'Yes'. For those who didn't know, Ironman is the toughest triathlon ever. The race encompasses three endurance events of a 2.4 mile (3.86 kilometer) ocean swim, followed by a 112 mile (180.2 kilometer) bike ride, and ending with a 26.2 mile (42.195 kilometer) marathon along the coast of the Big Island of Hawaii .
Father and son went on to complete the race together.
Now, watch the video:
Did it get to you too?
God loves you more than that father loves his son!

What an amazing dad! Yes, it got to me, too, Jamie. I'd like to know more about that pair. Wow.
Oh my!! I boo-hoo'ed thru the whole thing!
I did too! Couldn't tell if it was just hormones or if was really THAT good. Thank you for the affirmation.
Pastor Randy showed something similar at FCC a few years back. I got the video in an e-mail last night. The first time, I didn't cry. Then, Bradley (10) asked me if we could go see IronMan. I told him I had just watched a video about IronMan. He asked if he could see it. When I replayed it for him, my tears flowed through the entire video...
