Many Things To Celebrate, Part 3

What's the best way to Celebrate Life?!

This day, Mt. Zion Church and Fil-Can Church held and organized a blood clinic in the community with the help of Canadian Blood Services. Yes, the best way to celebrate life is to give life. How?! By donating blood, anyway, "it's in you to give". Jerson, Jensine and I went to witness the event and of course, to give thanks to those who courageously donate blood. Jerson, for one did donate. I was there to support the event and to show the people that I am very thankful for their action of donating blood. It was a sign for me how they support me again and again, since I used to be a blood recipient. I've been told by many friends who came to donate that they were doing this for me. Most of them are first time donors, too, like Jerson. I tried to promote this blood clinic to the church to encourage them to help people who needs blood or to give blood.

35In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: 'It is more blessed to give than to receive.' "
Acts 20:35 (New International Version)

"It is beyond doubt that giving is better than receiving, because that means you are able, well and healthy. I'd rather be poked once than getting poked numerous time. I believe in Science, blood and my sister's bone marrow and the healing power of God. There is Power in the Blood of the Lamb. There is also power in your blood, because you are children of God. So please, give blood and save lives, anyway, it's in you to give."

If you are a previous donor, I thank you and if you are planning to donate, I also thank you for your courageousness, willingness, and love for giving life to someone in need...you're helping and saving so many lives!
