The Winning Choice

On your mark, get set, go!

And the winner is …

… Nathan!

You get to go to the Provincial Track Meet! You’ll race against the fastest kids in British Columbia.

No way! I can’t wait.

Later that week …

Your coach just sent over the schedule for the meet.

Oh no … the meet is on Sunday!

Should I go? What if this is my only chance? I might not make it again next year.

Sorry, Coach. I don’t do races on Sunday. I want to keep the Sabbath day holy.

I’m glad I put Christ first. I know I made the right choice.
