Greater Love

[rahim28]

    An old priest told this story one Sunday. It is a true story of when he served in the military.
One day their drill sergeant came out and threw a hand grenade into a group of young soldiers. The man all ran away and took cover away from the grenade. Then the drill sergeant told them that the grenade was not set to explode and he just did it to see their reaction. The next day a newly recruited soldier joined the group. The drill sergeant told the other soldiers not to tell the new soldier what was going to happen. As the drill sergeant came out and threw the grenade into the crowd of soldiers, the new soldier, not knowing it wasn't going to explode, threw himself on top of the grenade to prevent it from killing the other men. He was willing to die for his fellow soldiers. That year the young man was awarded the only medal for courage and bravery that had not been won during battle.
reater love hath no man than this, that a man give his life for his friends."

We can make a documented comment saying in case of brain death or death under surgery all good parts can be donated to those in need including surgeon's wife indeed......lol
Are you after my heart ?!!!!!!!......lol

hahaha

hey yeah rahim,, being a donor is a good thing unless you are being operated on by a Surgeon whose wife needs a heart or lung at that moment - you might just die during the surgery of that ingrown toe nail - due to complications, so says the surgeon:) - but you'll help save his wife. lol

Yes you are right
Dyeing for a cause is a great fortune in life time,
If I didn't get that chance ( dyeing for others ) I would like to leave my usable parts for those who might need them.....lol

That's so true Rahim.

That IS Love for sure - to give up your life for others. You quoted scripture pertaining to Jesus.

"Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends."
John 13:15
