Thot this is pretty meaningful... =)
"Tomorrow morning," the surgeon began, "I'll open up your heart..."
"You'll find Jesus there," the boy interrupted. The surgeon looked up, annoyed "I'll> cut your heart open," he continued, to see how much damage has been done..."
"But when you open up my heart, you'll> find Jesus in there," said the boy. The surgeon looked to the parents, who sat quietly. "When I see how much damage has been done, I'll sew your heart and chest back up, and I'll plan what to do next."
"But you'll find Jesus in my heart. The Bible says He lives there. The hymns all say He lives there. You'll find Him in my heart." The surgeon had had enough. "I'll tell you what I'll find in your heart. I'll find damaged muscle, low blood supply, and weakened vessels. And I'll find out if I can make you well."
"You'll find Jesus there too. He lives there." The surgeon left. The surgeon sat in his office, recording his notes from the surgery, "...damaged aorta,damaged pulmonary vein, widespread muscledegeneration. No hope for transplant, no hope for cure. Therapy: painkillers and bed rest. Prognosis:, " here he paused, "death within one year."
He stopped the recorder, but there was more to be said. "Why?" he asked aloud. "Why did You do this? You've put him here; You've put him in this pain; and You've cursed him to an early death. Why?"
The Lord answered and said, "The boy, My lamb, was not meant for your flock for long, for he is a part of My flock, and will forever be. Here, in My flock, he will feel no pain, and will be comforted as you cannot imagine. His parents will one day join him here, and they will know peace, and My flock will continue to grow."
The surgeon's tears were hot, but his anger was hotter. "You created that boy, and You created that heart. He'll be dead in months. Why?"
The Lord answered, "The boy, My lamb, shall return to My flock, for He has done his duty: I did not put My lamb with your flock to lose him, but to retrieve another lost lamb."
The surgeon wept. The surgeon sat beside the boy's bed; the boy's parents sat across from him. The boyawoke and whispered, "Did you cut open my heart?"
"Yes," said the surgeon. "What did you find?" asked the boy.
"I found Jesus there," said the surgeon.

Mourning a loss...
Received word frm my sec. sch fren lost her lil bro last Sun... to what i dun noe... guess she was 2 tired to explain.. gonna go 4 the wake later with 3 other frens.. to offer support and 2 pay respect 2 her bro.. dun remember much of him coz didn't get 2 c him much...
may sound very mean and uncaring but i really dun remember her hving a bro at all... sigh... i'm such a great fren huh?...
Carole reminded me that it's the 2nd wake i've been 2 the past 2 months.. the first was the death of my DTS classmate, Anil...he passed away 2 months ago of epileptic (is that how u spell it?) fit at the age of 30 in Bangalore... He was gonna join YWAM Bangalore as staff and open a cafe, ministering to kids aged 16 - 28.. He changed so much in the 5 months we noe him.. he came as an ex-druggie with no purpose in his life..and became a man after God's own heart in 5 months.. we thank Daddy for His patience and faithfulness of transforming him into the man of God that He wants Anil 2 b b4 taking him back hm...
Check out the website we put up in memory of him.. http://www.3peeps.com/tribute4anil/
The 2nd one is this... think it's Daphne's younger bro... heard frm another fren of ours that he was sick for abt a yr..then Daphne told her he was okie..
Reminds me that life can b so fragile... Daddy is the One who give life...but He's also the One who can take us back anytime He deems fit...
On the other hand...i'm also mourning the loss of my molar... yes..my tooth...
extracted it on Sun coz it was causing me so much pain... the long and short of the story is that my wisdom tooth was crooked..hence it was pushing against the filling of my molar..which was pushing on the nerve of my molar... yup.. so i got rid of my molar..
next 2 go: my horrible wisdom tooth..
okie lah...mouth's feeling a bit sore...
well..at least i dun hv 2 eat porridge while the peeps ard me r feasting on ha jiong gai (prawn-paste chicken) and fried hokkien mee.. =P
