to look into the heart of
a flower, it opened up a whole new world - a world
where every country walk would be an adventure, where
every garden would become an enchanted one.

5 Important Lessons ~ Author Unknown
5 - Fifth Important Lesson -
Giving When it Counts
Many years ago, when I
worked as a volunteer at a hospital, I got to
know a little girl named Liz who was suffering from a rare and serious disease.
Her only chance of recovery appeared to be a blood transfusion from
her 5-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
little 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 her." As the transfusion
progressed, he lay in bed next to his sister and smiled, as we all did,
seeing the color returning to her cheek.
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 little boy had misunderstood the doctor; he
thought he was going to have to give his sister all of his blood in order to save her.
