Lifebanc

Wednesday, January 04, 2012
Pat

To me, Lifebanc equals grace - giving to other in faith.

Giving the Gift of Life - donating eyes to give a stranger sight.

Or just the skin off your bones - saving the life of another whose to sick to leave their home.

Have you ever listen to the beat of your heart-and imagine giving the gift to someone for a fresh start?

The very lungs from your body - helping someone whose life isn’t healthy.

I think we should consider what a life can give-give a stranger the second chance to live.

I believe God wants us to share - and give hope to those suffering elsewhere.

I know it sounds scary - but we are suppose to share in this community.

And if sharing means to give a body parts - we should give that heart.

That lung, that kidney, even the skin-Faith is suppose to be shared with her, him.

I know I'd want someone to save my life-or give me a heart or the gift of sight.

I say think of it as if it were you sick, alone, suffering, hurting as you go throw.

Think of it as that Doc. Ask you to give-so that child on the list might live.

Think if it was your son-dying because he needs an organ from someone.

Think of it as you throw the consent form away - that might be you one day.

Laying sick asking why - waiting for someone to die.

For someone’s family-to give you the means and ability to be healthy.

Think about it, as you pray and give thanks-someone somewhere is also

praying you donate to the "Lifebanc."

Donate, Save, Prolong A Life.
