"Giving Blood"
Many years ago, when I worked as a
volunteer at Stanford Hospital,
I got to know a little girl named Liz
who was suffering from a rare and serious disease
Her only chance of recovery appeared to be a blood transfusion
from her 5-year old brother,
who had miraculously survived the same disease
and had developed the antibodies needed to combat the illness
The doctor explained the situation to her little brother
and asked the boy if he would be willing
to give his blood to his sister
I saw him hesitate for only a moment
before taking a deep breath and saying
"Yes, I'll do it if it will save Liz."
As the transfusion progressed
he lay in bed next to his sister and smiled
as we all did, seeing the color returning to her cheeks
Then his face grew pale and his smile faded
He looked up at the doctor and asked with a trembling voice
"Will I start to die right away?"
Being young, the boy had misunderstood the doctor
he thought he was going to have to give his sister
all of his blood
WoW does that shake you or what??
He was actually ready to die for his sister
The Bible speaks of out of the mouths of babes
and that to enter the kingdom of God you have to be as a child...
Innocent, Unconditional Love, No Matter the what risk is
Jesus did die for us
He didn't have to
But he gave us His blood so we might live
Work like you don't need the money
Love like you've never been
hurt
Dance like nobody's watching
