That is so sweet! And also so incredibly sad and touching.
It got me thinking: Would you do that for your sister/brother? I mean, we would all love to say we would do it, but would you really sacrifice yourself for someone else?
The way Jesus sacrificed himself so that we could all live?
But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. - Romans 5:8I think we can all learn a huge lesson from little Anaiah. I love that she is able to be so humble about it. She didn't think twice, she didn't regret it, she just pushed her sister out of the way. Anaiah lost a leg for her sister, and she still doesn't think of herself as a hero.
I wish I could be that selfless!
Anaiah, no matter what you say, you are a HERO.
I was very touched by this story when I saw it online last week, amazing! I would do it for my sister(s) in a heartbeat, but of course I'm a grown up. I can only hope that I would have been as courageous as this little girl when I was her age. Pulled my heart strings.
ReplyDeleteWow! Just shared this on my blog, but it won't post until tomorrow. I'm pre-publishing some things to post while I'm on vacation. :)
ReplyDeleteWow, what an amazing story. Isn't this the character we all strive for?
ReplyDeleteI would love to think that I'm would do the same, but I can't say for sure!
