Thanks for Breaking the Rules
March 9, 2010
Looking back to when my daughter became quite ill last fall and was admitted to Mass. General Hospital in Boston, it was a completely new and frightening experience for her. As parents we were pleased that she reached out to her classmates and asked them to pray for her.
In the worst hours, she was in pain, unable to speak because of the tube in her throat, and utterly miserable. We sent an update to her teacher on her condition, and let him know that text messages were helping lift her spirits.
He responded by breaking the rules by encouraging all of her classmates to get out their cell phones and send her messages – during school no less! It helped her more than anyone could have imagined, and was truly an example of the body of Christ caring for one another.
