DonorOne morning last week a 21 year old young man woke up with the intention of doing whatever he did in the normal world. Somewhere along the course of the day he was killed suddenly, catastrophically, in a way that preserved his very healthy internal organs.With little thought he had checked "Yes" on the driver's license form to the question about being an organ donor. An abstract thought, probably. After all, he was young. What are the odds. That same day, just before midnight, we were called...there is a kidney available for your daughter. We got her to the hospital, and around 12-18 hours later that kidney was working inside her body...probably less than 24 hours since his tragic death...an unexpected end to his otherwise regular day. She came home this weekend and went to church with us this morning. I watched her as we sang of God's love and His miraculous power. She has embodied miraculous healing most of her life before all who have known her. I thought of this young man, hoping he was in heaven with the Father, wishing that his tragic end would be completed by a loving reunion with the Father who saved Him, another fateful decision made during his life...that one day he can meet my little girl whose life is vastly improved by the gift of his checkmark - and maybe some of the other 6 people who received other gifts from him...what a conversation they could have. Thanks God for making such meeting possible. 6:45 PM - Jul. 19, 2009 - post comment
