Love is Powerful

 Wesley and his grandson Keith did everything together. When Keith bought a rugged old house, together, he and Wesley put a new roof on it. Keith loved his grandfather, but like everything in life we all expire. Wesley later developed severe lung cancer and Keith stayed by his side the entire time. He took him to chemotherapy, he gave him his meds, and even helped him get dressed.

When Keith took him to his doctor’s appointment it didn’t go well,

“Keith, it’s not looking good. Your grandfather’s cancer has spread to his other lung,” the doctor told Keith.

Keith rushed into his grandfather’s room, “Please granddad, give me a few more years. I need you, please give me just a few more years. There’s so much I need to know about our family.”

Something happened that day because a tear fell down Wesley’s face as he could feel the genuine love from his grandson.

In disbelief the doctor informed Keith that somehow, someway, his grandfather’s cancer was gone.

Wesley pulled through for his Grandson. The power of love was so strong that he gave him 18 more years and when he died his last words were, “I lived so we both could live, now love me enough to let me go home to God, for our time together on earth is up but because of God’s love, we’ll meet again...I promise.” 

Keith was fulfilled while holding the family photo album that his grandfather left him as he watched him take his last breath.

Love is Powerful, and God is so merciful that he gave us memories. Love is only weak when we forget. Never forget.

Love is Powerful.

The End.
