I have seen this guy on and off for over 4 years, walking slowly up this steep hill to get his paper, getting slower and slower.... it reminded me of this verse from Isaiah.
'but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.'
['] For all those struggling against chronic ill health. Whose life is a constant struggle, yet who keep plodding on. May they have hope, despite all they battle again, and may they soar on wings like eagles.
