Christ-Like Love
In my ward there is a little boy who was diagnosed with a terminal illness. It's been sad to see him slowly get worse. He is now in a wheel chair. He turned 12 a few weeks ago and was ordained to the office of a deacon, so he is now able to pass the Sacrament on Sundays. It has been so heart warming to watch him. Someone made him a little carrying tray to put the bread and water on so he can maneuver his chair and not worry about spilling it. To see how the other deacons treat him is also special. They are patient with him as he backs his chair up to get in line. They assign him the same place to pass every Sunday so it is easier for him. The people who he passes the sacrament to are kind to him and understanding. Watching him now for the past two weeks has been wonderful to witness. I truly see pure Christ-like love shown to him every week. The spirit is so strong in that meeting. I am blessed because I have been there to witnesses this love.
