God is at work, never give up…………..

 

This is a true story happened at the time of II world war, In 1949, Mr. John had just returned home from the war. On that day every street and highway you could see soldiers in uniform hitchhiking home to their families, that was the custom at that time. Sadly, the thrill of John's reunion with his family was soon overshadowed. John's mother became very ill and had to be hospitalized. It was her kidneys effected, and the doctors told John that she needed a blood transfer immediately or she would not live through the night. The problem was that her blood group was AB-, a very rare type, even today hard to get, there were no blood banks or air flights to ship blood. All the family members were tested, but not one member was a match. So the doctors lost the hope; John left the hospital in tears to gather up all the family members, so that everyone would get a chance to tell his mother Good-bye. As John was driving down the highway, he passed a soldier in uniform hitchhiking home to his family. Deep in grief, He had no time at that moment to do a good deed. Yet it was almost as if something outside himself pulled him to a stop, and he waited as the stranger climbed into the car. John was too upset to even ask the soldier his name, but the soldier noticed his tears right away and inquired about him. Through his tears, John told stranger that his mother was lying in a hospital dying because the doctors had been unable to locate her blood group, AB-, and if they did not locate her blood group before nightfall, she would surely die. It got very quiet in the car for a moment. Then this unidentified soldier extended his hand out to John, palm up. Resting in the palm of his hand were the tags from around his neck. The blood group on the tags was AB-. The soldier told John to turn the car around and get him to the hospital. John's mother lived until 1996, 47 years later and to this day no one in his family knows the soldier's name. But John has often wondered, was he a soldier or an angel in uniform? Sometimes, we never know who God will bring into our lives to carry out a special mission nor do we know whose lives God will touch. Dear friends God is at work, never give the hope…
