When you’re down to nothing, God is up to something!

This is beautiful, so take 2 minutes to read!
She jumped up as soon as she saw the
surgeon come out of the operating room. She
said: ‘How is my little boy? Is he going to be
all right? When can I see him?’
The surgeon said, ‘I’m sorry. We did all we
could,
but your boy didn’t make it.’
Sally said, ‘Why do little children get cancer?
Doesn’t God care any more? Where were you,
God, when my son needed you?’
The surgeon asked, ‘Would you like some time
alone with your son? One of the nurses will
be out in a few minutes, before he’s
transported to the university..’
Sally asked the nurse to stay with her while
she said good bye to son. She ran her fingers
lovingly through his thick red curly hair.
‘Would you like a lock of his hair?’ the nurse
asked.. Sally nodded yes. The nurse cut a lock
of the boy’s hair, put it in a plastic bag and
handed it to Sally.
The mother said, ‘It was Jimmy’s idea to
donate his body to the University for Study.
He said it might help somebody else….. ‘I said
no at first, but Jimmy said, ‘Mom, I won’t be
using it after I die. Maybe it will help some
other little boy spend one more day with his
Mom..’ She went on, ‘My Jimmy had a heart
of gold. Always thinking of someone else.
Always wanting to help others if he could..
Sally walked out of Children’s Mercy Hospital
for the last time, after spending most of the
last six months there. She put the bag with
Jimmy’s belongings on the seat beside her in
the car.
The drive home was difficult. It was even
harder to enter the empty house. She carried
Jimmy’s belongings, and the plastic bag with
the lock of his hair to her son’s room.
She started placing the model cars and other
personal things back in his room exactly
where he had always kept them She lay down
across his bed and, hugging his pillow, cried
herself to sleep.
It was around midnight when Sally awoke.
Lying beside her on the bed was a folded
letter. The letter said:
‘Dear Mom,
I know you’re going to miss me; but don’t
think that I will ever forget you, or stop
loving you, just ’cause I’m not around to say
‘I Love You’. I will always love you, Mom,
even more with each day.. Someday we will
see each other again. Until then, if you want
to adopt a little boy so you won’t be so
lonely, that’s okay with me… He can have my
room and old stuff to play with. But, if you
decide to get a girl instead, she probably
wouldn’t like the same things us boys do.
You’ll have to buy her dolls and stuff girls
like, you know.
Don’t be sad thinking about me.. This really is
a neat place. Grandma and Grandpa met me
as soon as I got here and showed me around
some, but it will take a long time to see
everything. The angels are so cool. I love to
watch them fly. And, you know what? Jesus
doesn’t look like any of his pictures. Yet,
when I saw Him, I knew it was Him. Jesus
himself took me to see GOD! And guess what,
Mom? I got to sit on God’s knee and talk to
Him, like I was somebody important. That’s
when I told Him that I wanted to write you a
letter, to tell you good bye and everything.
But I already knew that wasn’t allowed. Well,
you know what Mom? God handed me some
paper and His own personal pen to write you
this letter I think Gabriel is the name of the
angel who is going to drop this letter off to
you. God said for me to give you the answer
to one of the questions you asked Him ‘where
was He when I needed him?’ ‘God said He was
in the same place with me, as when His son
Jesus was on the cross. He was right there, as
He always is with all His children.
Oh, by the way, Mom, no one else can see
what I’ve written except you… To everyone
else this is just a blank piece of paper. Isn’t
that cool? I have to give God His pen back
now He needs it to write some more names in
the Book of Life. Tonight I get to sit at the
table with Jesus for supper. I’m sure the food
will be great.
Oh, I almost forgot to tell you. I don’t hurt
anymore the cancer is all gone.. I’m glad
because I couldn’t stand that pain anymore
and God couldn’t stand to see me hurt so
much, either. That’s when He sent The Angel
of Mercy to come get me. The Angel said I
was a Special Delivery! How about that?
