Be The Giver
No, not the Lois Lowry/Hollywood "The Giver."
And none of us can compare to the Ultimate Giver Jesus Christ! :)
But God (and society interestingly enough) calls us to give what we can, when we can.
Trey has stumped the doctors yet again. Jay and Rachel's update today:
Trey is
not making his own platelets and still rejecting (so far, 8!) bags of
donated platelets!! He's bruising easily...but hasn't slowed down a bit, which makes me nervous!!! Please
think about contacting the Central Blood Bank (or your local blood
bank) to make a general donation. 8 bags of platelets means that 25-30
people's donations will have been used!!
Those
of you who are able, giving blood is a great way to help Trey! (It's
very cumbersome to donate directly to Trey, so Jay and Rachel just ask
for you to donate generally to your local blood bank.) While you are
there, speak of our Young Warrior and our Mighty God Who has sustained
Trey and his family! :)
Or take this opportunity to be a different
kind of Giver - time, talents, treasures, attention, prayer, meals, yard
work, shopping, babysitting, transportation. Team Mitlo One reaches
around the world. There is someone, somewhere in your circle who needs a
blessing! Share Trey's journey with your recipient as you give! :)
And
speaking of prayer - please pray for a miracle bag of platelets to be
at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh UPMC that Trey's body will accept
and spur him on to make his own platelets!
Please also pray for Trey's parents as they patiently tread through this new chapter!
Many
praises as Trey did get to go to his first day of Kindergarten
yesterday! And Joe and Bella jumped right back into their school
routine! :)
And as always, please pray for Trey's complete healing!
"Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not
reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver." 2 Corinthians 9:7
