Buh-Luhd!!!

A piece of cotton with my blood :)

SO! There comes a time when one person has made a decision that would change his life, pretty much drastically, well, not forever, but has done a lot.

Few weeks ago, I decided to donate blood for one of our church members who needs it for her operation. I must say the things you need to do is quite strict, but when you get to give out blood, it feels so accomplishing and rewarding when you get to give a piece of you for others who need that piece.

I remember the slogan written in the donation room where there are tons of pictures and service projects that was posted in their bulletin board. But one slogan has remained in my mind:

You are donating blood

Jesus gave His blood for our sin

You are in a cot

Jesus was in the cross

You are to donate a pint

He gave his all 

I remember one of the reminders that was given to us even before we went to the hospital where we would be donating our blood. They have been constantly reminding us not to stand on the cot or bed for about 20 or more minutes after donating. The whole giving part took only about 5-10 minutes, and my resting time only took about 15 minutes or less. And the creepiest part of my donating, I actually had dreamed of it few weeks or so before donating. So I can say, I was meant to donate my blood, I think :>

The over-all experience was so awesome! I am looking forward on donating my blood in the near future, but too near though. I would have to need my blood, though. That's the rule of donating, wait at least for a year to replenish your blood, or three months is enough. TeeHee ^_^
