Brave Little Soul!

I know I just posted earlier today (see post below,) but this was shared with me tonight and I just had to pass it on. I have said it time and time again...it takes something like what we are going thru to show us how good people really are...it has humbled us time and time again. I mean here we are a year later, and I think more people are following Luke and his progress than ever. For those of you that have been by our sides since the beginning....THANK YOU, THANK YOU, may God bless you as you have blessed us.

THE BRAVE LITTLE SOUL
Not too long ago in Heaven, there was a little soul who took wonder in observing the world. He especially enjoyed the love he saw there and often expressed this joy with God. One day however, the little soul was sad, for on this day he saw suffering in the world. He approached God and sadly asked, "Why do bad things happen, why is there suffering in the world?"
God paused for a moment and replied, little soul, do not be sad, for the suffering you see, unlocks to love in people's hearts". The little soul was confused. "What do you mean", he asked. God replied. Have you not noticed the goodness and love that is the offspring of that suffering? Look at how people come together, drop their differences, and show their love and compassion for those who suffer. All their other motivations disappear and they become motivated by love alone.

The little soul began to understand and listen attentively as God continued, "The suffering soul unlocks the love in people's hearts much like the sun and rain unlock the flower within the seed. I created everyone with endless love in their heart, but unfortunately, most people keep it locked up and hardly share with anyone. They are afraid to let their love shine freely, because they are afraid of being hurt. But a suffering soul unlocks that love. I tell you this- it is the greatest miracle of all. Many souls have bravely chosen to go into the world and suffer-to unlock this love-to create this miracle-for the good of all humanity."

Just then, the little soul got a wonderful idea and can hardly contain himself. With his wings fluttering, bouncing up and down, the little soul excitedly replied, I am brave: let me go! I would like to go into this world and suffer so that I can unlock the goodness and love in people's hearts! I want to create that miracle!"

God smiled and said, you are a brave soul, I know, and thus I will grant your request but even though you are very brave, you will not be able to do this alone. I have known since the beginning of time that you would ask, and so I have carefully selected many souls to care for you on your journey. Those souls will help you create your miracle; however, they will also share in your suffering. Two of those souls are most special and will care for you, help you and suffer along with you, far beyond the others. They have already chosen a name for you.

God and the brave little soul shared a smile and then embraced. In parting, God said, "Do not forget little soul that I will be with you always. Although you have agreed to bear this pain, you will do so through my strength. And if the time should come when you feel that you have suffered enough, just say the word, think the thought, and you will be healed."

Thus, at that moment, the brave little soul was born into the world, and through his suffering and God's strength he unlocked the goodness and love in people's hearts. For so many people dropped their differences and came together to show their love. Priorities became properly aligned. People gave from their hearts. Those that were always too busy found time. Many began new spiritual journeys-some regained lost faith-many came back to God. Parents hugged their kids tighter. Friends and family grew closer. Old friends got together and new friendships were made. Distant family reunited, and every family spent more time together. Everyone prayed. Peace and love reigned. Lives were changed forever. It was good. The world was a better place. The miracle had happened. God was pleased.

Believe in God's promises.
"For I am the LORD, who heals you."
Exodus 15:26

Remember...Stem Cell prayers on the 22nd. The thing with these cells is we can't tell them where to go. I Believe though that we can pray them to the damaged areas in Luke's brain and that third cranial nerve to get those eyes open. Thanks so much and believe!
