The Portion of my Inheritance

Every year Mrs. Harveson’s pre-school and Kindergarten participate in the St. Jude    Trike-A-Thon.            

The bike course is roped off and the children ride their bikes around and around, getting a mark each time they cross the starting line.    

They have collected money that will go to the St. Jude Hospital research. 

Mrs. Harveson has received an award for being the longest supporting person to participate in this fund raiser.    

This is Aria’s third year to ride in this event.  

Family members come and watch and celebrate the children and their efforts in supporting such an amazing cause.    

The children work very hard as they peddle on and on. 

But . . . . sometimes, they need just a little rest.     

And sometimes . . . they have a hard time turning the corner.   

Sometimes . . . they need to make a pit stop because of technical difficulty.   

And sometimes . . . . they are just ready to give up altogether.         

But we urge them to keep on going.    

And soon the acorns are calling to them,  and they leave their post to collect acorn treasures.  

And after the Trike-A-Thon is over, and their lunches are all gobbled up, they load up and go home with great satisfaction, a full belly and with treasures in hand.    

“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.  (Jesus) Matt. 6:19-21
