If you've been reading my blog for any time, then you may share my belief that little
things do mean a lot!
I read a
little story on the internet a few weeks back that stuck with me. It was the
story of little 9 year old boy who was having surgery. He was nervous. Scared.
And very anxious about being put to sleep.
He decided
to take his stuffed wolf with him to the hospital. In his thinking, since his
beloved wolf had a broken ear and a wounded leg, perhaps the doctors could
operate on him too!
The little
fellow was bold – he actually asked the doctor if Wolfie could be operated
on…but his parents said, “no” to the request and stopped the conversation.
But! When
his parents walked into the recovery room (from a successful surgery) they saw
an amazing thing. There was Wolfie, next to their son on his gurney, this time
with a surgical mask, a little cast, and some pretty well intact sutures to his
leg and ear.
I think the
surgical team shared an incredible amount of kindness and compassion for this 9
year old. Their few moments of kindness – doing this seemingly little thing –
for this boy and his wolf toy – sent a HUGE message!
Isn't it a
blessing to see someone else’s blessing?! Let's do "something little" as God gives us the opportunity...
Look UP my
friends!
