Caring People

I was listening to K-LOVE again today and heard an inspiring story that I wanted to share.

Recently some grandparents had heard that their 3-year old grandchild was killed by the mother's live-in boyfriend (OK, that's not inspiring - keep reading).  The mother decided to donate the boy's organs to other people who needed it.  The grandfather wanted to be around for moral support and to offer whatever help he could. 

The couple went to the airport 2 hrs early, but still barely made the first plane, for whatever reason.  The grandfather, because of some delayed layovers was about to miss the last plane that got him to his final plane to get to his final destination.  He should have missed his plane.  He arrived at the gate 12 minutes late.  Yet, what he found at the gate shocked him.  He found the gate attendant and the plane still there.  The gate attendant asked, "Are you Mark?" to which the grandfather replied in the affirmative.  "The pilot held the plane for you."  When Mark asked to speak to the pilot (who had apparently heard of the situation), the pilot replied, "The plane wasn't  going to leave without me and I wasn't going to leave without you."

What a great example of how much God loves each and every one of us and how He loves it when we love others as He would.  Thank God for caring people.

You are AWESOME!
