{17} December Daily ~ Selfless

 
 
Hi Sweet Friends

Selfless
Not me
But my oldest son

The man who sits with his precious family
 


Gave
Twelve years ago today
A kidney
To his adopted father

I've shared the story previously
How he had left home
Never wanting to see us again
So we began to pray

"God whatever it takes"
To help him realize that our family
Is exactly where you planned for him to be 
 
 
Three short weeks later
Mark was diagnosed with complete kidney failure
His only hope of survival
A transplant from a perfect match
 
God had a plan
For 9 months later
Our sons perfectly matched kidney
Was transplanted to Mark
Which gave him
7 years and 7 days of new life
 
And our son
Well, he heard directly from the Lord
This IS the family I've chosen for you
 
Yes
God heard our prayers
Through trial
He brought our family back together
Never Give Up
 
And Now

Have a Hero for a Father
Who selflessly saved a life
And gives of himself daily
For his precious girls
 
Mr. A
Your momma will Always love You
And will Never forget your Gift of Life
 
And so it is with God
Who selflessly Gave Jesus
His precious Son
For us to have
Life Eternal
 
If you don't know this Jesus
Please allow me to pray with you
I'd love for you to meet Him
 
Blessings
