- on Our Grandson’s Liver Transplant: 3 Years Later: “Thank you so much for sharing. Your post was forwarded to me by a friend. We lost our 19 month old son in a tragic accident just 3.5 weeks ago. Like your family, we also had countless people praying around the globe for God's miraculous healing. We all believed so deeply and without hesitation God was going to heal him. I knew there was no way He could 'ignore' that many prayers. When Axel died, we were devastated. Of course the immediate feelings were heart wrenching sadness, anger, confusion, doubt, among others. How could a God of love allow this to happen?!? We did everything right! Shortly after Axel was declared deceased, we were consulted about organ donation. It wasn't something we had even thought about and assumed he wouldn't have any viable organs. He was able to give his heart to a 2 year old girl and his liver to a 1 year old girl, in addition to his kidneys to a young man. In the midst of our trauma and brokenness, we could start to see God working. Like you said, it's a sad and tragic reality, that another family's child must die for the child in need to live. I love how you describe the arrival of his liver. I have only pictured those mommies and daddies rejoicing as their prayers for a miracle were answered, but to know you mourned with your donors family as well is so comforting. Like your family, I pray for our recipient families daily. I pray their bodies accept the organs and that these girls leave a legacy that wouldn't have been possible without our sweet boy. I picture a family tree where their branch, would have been just that and ended with them, now has generations birthed beyond them. We still grieve our son daily and I don't think the pain will ever subside this side of heaven, but we take peace in knowing that he was a part of God's miracle for other families. During that week he was in the hospital, fighting for life, a spiritual revival was triggered in all of those praying for him as well as those who witnessed our turn to God. We know of several salvation prayers that might not have occurred otherwise. In addition to birthing spiritual life, our baby boy was able to give life physically. Thank you for providing perspective from the other side. We are hoping to one day meet our recipient families and love on those little girls.” Nov 1, 10:48

- on A Fresh Vision from God for Your Summer (and Mine): “Hey Susan, Greetings from Cambridge,England. I've been thinking of you recently and thanking God for your ministry. I've been rereading 'Raising Kids with Character That Lasts' and finding it SO helpful. During a recent holiday in Scotland we did a series of family bible studies based on the chapter on courage. Then yesterday I had an unplanned chat with Sheila (now 13!) about integrity and used the Statue of Liberty illustration from that chapter. So, thank you! I hope you and John have a super sabbatical as you look forward to the next chapter of Life. With love from, Susu Cook Scott” Jun 12, 04:30
