T.N.G. SIGNS OF THE TIMES - June 1996 (#33)

Greetings from Russell's Remnant:

Is it courage or love - or both?

"Many years ago, when I worked as a volunteer at Stanford Hospital, I got to know a little girl named Liza who was suffering from a rare and serious disease. Her only chance of recovery appeared to be a blood transfusion from her five-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 Liza.'"

"As the transfusion progressed, he lay in a 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 her all his blood."

(From: Dan Millman's story as told in the book - Chicken Soup for the Soul by Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen)

Whether it was courage or love or both, it is what life on this planet is all about. This planet is a 2nd Ray planet.

"Greater love hath no man that this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." - John 15:13 - KJV Bible

This profoundly simple story about a child sums up all the scriptures. It sums up all the lectures given by holy men. When in doubt, do what the little boy did!

***

There was a man, they called him mad. The more he gave, the more he had.

What is the difference between involved and committed? With ham an eggs, the chicken was involved, but the pig was committed. (The little boy was committed. Are we?)
