I could barely get through reading this story……..I pray that it moves you and I to be more loving and sensitive to all people. What can you and I do better to serve JESUS and all people? I thank the LORD for the soldiers from the U.S. Army who came to see Gabe Downey. I also am very thankful for all the folks at the Mayo Clinic who do such tremendous work! This story sines JESUS!

ROCHESTER – As 5-year-old Gabe Downey walked down the steps to Mayo Clinic’s Children Center on Friday, he was greeted with the kind of reaction one would expect for a high-ranking military officer.

About two dozen active-duty soldiers from the U.S. Army traveled to Rochester to greet Downey, who is battling a rare form of cancer known as rhabdomyosarcoma, after hearing about Downey’s journey through a social media post. One by one, the soldiers approached Downey to offer him a fist bump or a high five as they presented him with patches they had earned from missions across the world. More Here
