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!
