The quiet champion

"True heroism is remarkably sober, very undramatic. It is not the urge to surpass all others at any cost, but the urge to serve others, at any cost."
- Arthur Ashe

The Ravens are the "World Champions" - it came down to the very end to determine who would win.  It was a good game to watch for many reasons; but there was a back story that you may have missed that made Superbowl 47 extra meaningful for me.

This story hit me pretty hard.  I couldn't stop crying at what I was seeing. 

I won't ruin this five minute video.
Watch it and I will close with some brief comments.

Was I seeing my future?

Like this Superbowl, it comes down to the end.  How will we finish?  Do we go out beaten or go out like champions?

My hope is, come what may, I keep my smile and spirit strong to inspire others.  God has prepared me to meet this challenge, and He assures me I will NOT be alone.

You are all champions to me! I take my relationship and responsibility as a Christian very seriously, but your video and last blog entry brought me to my knees literally Akhil and made me re-evaluate my relationship with Christ in a very serious way. You are all true witnesses Akhil, Laura, Ashley, Corrine, and Jordan, and your continued joy in this challenging time speaks volumes for Christ! I love you all!

    The video is Akhil's journey with ALS.  Painful to see but the faith his family shows is uplifting.
    ​
    God continues to show his love for us through his people.  Thank you to everyone who has reached out to us, prayed for us, visited Akhil, brought us a meal and served us however God led you to serve.  Continue to follow those urgings from God in serving those who are struggling.

    Akhil and Laura Jhaveri

    Applying the skills they've learned in over 20 years of marriage, this couple faces the challenges of ALS together. MND or motor neuron disease is deadly with no known cure.  The Jhaveri family has to endure this battle and show the world God's love!
