章節(jié)摘錄

　　Donna knew there were complications with transplants. At least on dialysis，she was alive. And yet，she often wondered，what kind of life was she having？Shehad always been close to God，and she had asked him many times for a healing.He had said no——at least she assumed he had——and she could live with that. Butshould she， if there was something she could do to change the situation？　　Donna continued her dialysis， but her condition worsened and she had to quither job.　Her health continued to deteriorate，and on Christmas Day，1984 ， shelooked around at her loved ones with a sinking heart. The longer she stayed ondialysis，the worse she was probably going to get. Would she even be here nextChristmas？Her uncle Johnny，carrying out a Polish custom of sharing blessedwater，had just wished Donna "health and a transplant". But she hadnt even putherself on the list. Should she try for a miracle？　　Yes. Somehow it seemed right. She had prayed， and she had endured. If Godhad anything else in mind for her， she was willing to try it.　　In September 1985，Donna received a new kidney.　The operation was acomplete success， and when Kathy came to see her， she could hardly believe hereyes. Donna had lost a large amount of weight. "Youre so tiny！" Kathy exclaimed.But Donna was healthy too——-everyone could see that. And life began to change forher， almost immediately.　　She had a lot more energy and couldnt remember ever feeling so well. Shecould eat foods that had been forbidden before，so she gradually gained weight.She was able to return to work. And she started another habit as well， reciting eachday a petition she had found in a little book. "Prayer for a Good Spouse，" it was called.And why not？If the Lord had restored her health， he might have other blessings inmind for her too.　　One unexpected benefit from her own surgery was the change in Kathy.Reassured by Donnas rapid recovery， Kathy finally overcame her fears. She askedher brother if he remembered volunteering his kidney all those years ago，and hesaid， "Sure——-lets go for it. "
