You tune in your radio. You hear a&nbsp;little blurb about a little village in India where some villagers have&nbsp;died suddenly, strangely, of a flu that has never been seen before. It&#39;s&nbsp;not influenza, but three or four fellows are dead, and it&#39;s kind of&nbsp;interesting, and they&#39;re sending some doctors over there to investigate&nbsp;it.<\/p>\n<p>\tYou don&#39;t think much about it, but on Sunday, coming home from church,&nbsp;you hear another radio spot. Only they say it&#39;s not three villagers,&nbsp;it&#39;s30,000 villagers in the back hills of this particular area of India,&nbsp;and it&#39;s on TV that night. CNN runs a little blurb; people are heading&nbsp;there from the disease center in Atlanta because this disease strain has&nbsp;never been seen before.<\/p>\n<p>\tBy Monday morning when you get up, it&#39;s the lead story. For it&#39;s not just&nbsp;India; it&#39;s Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran, and before you know it, you&#39;re&nbsp;hearing this story everywhere and they have coined it now as &quot;the mystery&nbsp;flu&quot;. The President has made some comment that he and everyone are&nbsp;praying and hoping that all will go well over there. But everyone is&nbsp;wondering, &quot;How are we going to contain it?&quot;<\/p>\n<p>\tThat&#39;s when the President of France makes an announcement that shocks&nbsp;Europe. He is closing their borders. No flights from India, Pakistan, or&nbsp;any of the countries where this thing has been seen.<\/p>\n<p>\tAnd that&#39;s why that night you are watching a little bit of CNN before&nbsp;going to bed. Your jaw hits your chest when a weeping woman is translated&nbsp;from a French news program into English: &quot;There&#39;s a man lying in a&nbsp;hospital in Paris dying of the mystery flu.&quot; It has come to Europe. Panic&nbsp;strikes. As best they can tell, once you get it, you have it for a week&nbsp;and you don&#39;t know it. Then you have four days of unbelievable symptoms.&nbsp;And then you die.<\/p>\n<p>\tBritain closes it&#39;s borders, but it&#39;s too late. South Hampton, Liverpool,&nbsp;North Hampton, and it&#39;s Tuesday morning when the President of the United&nbsp;States makes the following announcement: &quot;Due to a national security&nbsp;risk, all flights to and from Europe and Asia have been canceled. If your&nbsp;loved ones are overseas, I&#39;m sorry. They cannot come back until we find a&nbsp;cure for this thing.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>\tWithin four days our nation has been plunged into an unbelievable fear.&nbsp;People are selling little masks for your face. People are talking about&nbsp;what if it comes to this country, and preachers on Tuesday are saying,&nbsp;&quot;It&#39;s the scourge of God.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>\tIt&#39;s Wednesday night and you are at a church prayer meeting when somebody&nbsp;runs in from the parking lot and says, &quot;Turn on a radio, turn on a&nbsp;radio.&quot; And while the church listens to a little transistor radio with a&nbsp;microphone placed close to it, the announcement is made. &quot;Two women are&nbsp;lying in a Long Island hospital dying from the mystery flu.&quot; Within hours&nbsp;it seems, this thing just sweeps across the country. People are working&nbsp;around the clock trying to find an antidote. Nothing is working.&nbsp;California. Oregon. Arizona. Florida .Massachusetts. It&#39;s as though it&#39;s&nbsp;just sweeping in from the borders.<\/p>\n<p>And then, all of a sudden the news comes out. The code has been broken. A&nbsp;cure can be found. A vaccine can be made. It&#39;s going to take the blood of&nbsp;somebody who hasn&#39;t been infected, and so, sure enough, all through the&nbsp;Midwest, through all those channels of emergency broadcasting, everyone&nbsp;is asked to do one simple thing: &quot;Go to your downtown hospital and have&nbsp;your blood type taken. That&#39;s all we ask of you. And when you hear the&nbsp;sirens go off in your neighborhood, please make your way quickly,&nbsp;quietly, and safely to the hospitals.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>\tSure enough, when you and your family get down there late on that Friday&nbsp;night, there is a long line, and they&#39;ve got nurses and doctors coming&nbsp;out and pricking fingers and taking blood and putting labels on it. Your&nbsp;wife and your kids are out there, and they take your blood type and they&nbsp;say, &quot;Wait here in the parking lot and if we call your name, you can be&nbsp;dismissed and go home.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>\tYou stand around scared with your neighbors, wondering what in the world&nbsp;is going on, and that this is the end of the world. Suddenly a young man&nbsp;comes running out of the hospital screaming. He&#39;s yelling a name and&nbsp;waving a clipboard. What? He yells it again! And your son tugs on your&nbsp;jacket and says, &quot;Daddy, that&#39;s me.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>\tBefore you know it, they have grabbed your boy. &quot;Wait a minute, hold it!&quot;<\/p>\n<p>\tAnd they say, &quot;It&#39;s okay, his blood is clean. His blood is pure. We want&nbsp;to make sure he doesn&#39;t have the disease. We think he has got the right&nbsp;type.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>\tFive tense minutes later, out come the doctors and nurses, crying and&nbsp;hugging one another &#8212; some are even laughing. It&#39;s the first time you&nbsp;have seen anybody laugh in a week, and an old doctor walks up to you and&nbsp;says, &quot;Thank you, sir. Your son&#39;s blood type is perfect. It&#39;s clean, it&nbsp;is pure, and we can make the vaccine.&quot; As the word begins to spread all&nbsp;across that parking lot full of folks, people are screaming and praying&nbsp;and laughing and crying.<\/p>\n<p>\tBut then the gray-haired doctor pulls you and you wife aside and says,&nbsp;&quot;May we see you for a moment? We didn&#39;t realize that the donor would be a&nbsp;minor and we need &#8230; we need you to sign a consent form.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>\tYou begin to sign and then you see that the number of pints of blood to&nbsp;be taken is empty. &quot;H-h-h-how many pints?&quot;<\/p>\n<p>\tAnd that is when the old doctor&#39;s smile fades and he says, &quot; We had no&nbsp;idea it would be a little child. We weren&#39;t prepared. We need it all!&quot;<\/p>\n<p>\t&quot;But &#8230; but &#8230;.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>\t&quot;You don&#39;t understand. We are talking about the world here. Please sign.&nbsp;We &#8212; we need it all &#8212; we need it all!&quot;<\/p>\n<p>\t&quot;But can&#39;t you give him a transfusion?&quot;<\/p>\n<p>\t&quot;If we had clean blood we would.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>\tCan you sign? Would you sign? In numb silence you do. Then they say,&nbsp;&quot;Would you like to have a moment with him before we begin?&quot;&nbsp;Can you walk back? Can you walk back to that room where he sits on a&nbsp;table saying, &quot;Daddy? Mommy? What&#39;s going on?&quot;<\/p>\n<p>\tCan you take his hands and say, &quot;Son, your mommy and I love you, and we&nbsp;would never ever let anything happen to you that didn&#39;t just have to be.&nbsp;Do you understand that?&quot;<\/p>\n<p>\tAnd when that old doctor comes back in and says, &quot;I&#39;m sorry, we&#39;ve &#8212;&nbsp;we&#39;ve got to get started. People all over the world are dying.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>\tCan you leave? Can you walk out while he is saying, &quot;Dad? Mom? Dad? Why?&nbsp;Why have you forsaken me?&quot;<\/p>\n<p>\tAnd then next week, when they have the ceremony to honor your son, and&nbsp;some folks sleep through it, and some folks don&#39;t even come because they&nbsp;go to the lake, and some folks come with a pretentious smile and just&nbsp;pretend to care. Would you want to jump up and say, &quot;MY SON DIED! DON&#39;T&nbsp;YOU CARE?<\/p>\n<p>\tIs that what God wants to say? &quot;MY SON DIED. DON&#39;T YOU KNOW HOW MUCHI&nbsp;CARE?&quot;<\/p>\n<p>&quot;Father, seeing it from your eyes breaks our hearts. Maybe now we can&nbsp;begin to comprehend the great love you have for us. Amen.&quot;<\/p>\n<p><center><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.creativeyouthideas.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/0004_underline1_big-300x15.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"5\" \/><\/center><br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.creativeobjectlessons.com\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"floatimgright alignright\" style=\"border: 0px;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.creativeobjectlessons.com\/objectlessons_sm.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"112\" height=\"134\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><span style=\"color: #cc0000;\"><strong>MORE IDEAS?
