DR. HEART-WORMING

Some people are just born to be medical doctors, caring and compassionate ‘way beyond us normal mortals. For example, one beloved internist had a long, white scar on the back of his hand. It really showed up in the summer when his hands were tanned.

Turns out that, when he was a little boy, his friend had gotten a long earthworm, placed it on a brick, and raised a hatchet to bring it down and cut the worm in half.

The kindly future doctor could not bear that. At the last instant, as he grabbed the worm, the hatchet came down on the back of his hand.

The worm survived unscathed, never knowing the sacrifice that was made on his behalf.

Prayer request: I have three friends named Holly with daughters Maddy’s age. You know which Holly I mean, Lord, when I ask that her house sells quickly, and for a good price, as her young family moves to the Twin Cities. Keep our soul ties close forever, Father, and use them to draw both of us closer to Your heart. (Ephesians 3:14-19)
