Received this in an email the other day, I loved it and just thought I’d share it with you here, hope you like it:).
Code:
    **The Heart**
** “Tomorrow morning,” the surgeon began,
“I’ll open up your heart…”
Code:
    "You'll find Jesus there," the boy
    interrupted.


    the surgeon looked up, annoyed "I'll
    cut your heart open," he continued,
    to see how much damage has been
    done..."


    "but when you open up my heart, you'll
    find Jesus in there," said the boy.


    The surgeon looked to the parents, who
    Sat quietly. "When I see how much
    damage has been done, I'll sew your
    heart and chest back up, and I'll plan
    what to do next."


    "But you'll find Jesus in my heart. The
    Bible says He lives there. The
    hymns all say He lives there. You'll
    find Him in my heart."

    The surgeon had had enough. "I'll tell
    you what I'll find in your heart
    I'll find damaged muscle, low blood
    supply, and weakened vessels.
    And I'll find out if I can make you well."

    "You'll find Jesus there too. He lives
    there."

    The surgeon left.

    The surgeon sat in his office, recording his notes from the surgery,
    "...damaged aorta, damaged pulmonary vein, widespread muscle
    degeneration.
    No hope for transplant, no hope for cure. Therapy:
    painkillers and bed rest Prognosis:
    here he paused, "death within one year."


    He stopped the recorder, but there was
    more to be said. "Why?" he asked aloud.
    "Why did You do this? You've put
    him here; You've put him in this pain; and You've cursed him to an
    early death. Why?"

    The Lord answered and said, "The boy,
    my lamb, was not meant for your
    flock for long, for he is a part of My
    flock, and will forever be
    Here, in My flock, he will feel no pain, and will be comforted as you
    cannot imagine.

    His parents will one day join him here,
    and they will know peace, and
    My flock will continue to grow."

    The surgeon's tears were hot, but his
    anger was hotter. "You created that
    boy, and You created that heart. He'll
    be dead in months. Why?"

    The Lord answered, "The boy, My lamb,
    shall return to My flock, for He has
    done his duty: I did not put My lamb
    with your flock to lose him, but to retrieve another lost lamb."
    The surgeon wept...
    The surgeon sat
    beside the boy's bed; the boy's
    parents sat across from him. The boy awoke and whispered, "Did you cut
    open
    my heart?"

    "Yes," said the surgeon.
    "What did you find?" asked the boy.

    "I found Jesus there," said the
    surgeon.

That brought tears to my eyes, esp. since I used to work in a surgical ICU. I sent it to my nurse-friends. Thanks for sharing.
