Remember Mason

Today there is a mother with her dying son living at a Ronald McDonald home in Palo Alto, California as they wait for word that a donor will become available.

The child is Mason. He is one of the millions of children throughout the world waiting for answers to an unknown future.

For me it's one thing to be a father hoping to be around for my kid, but it's an entirely different feeling knowing a child is in trouble and needs help.

I spent many sleepless nights in a children's hospital listening to little kids cry out for help. I had no control over the situation. It wasn't my place and I had to trust in the team caring for that child, but like any good Father I wanted to throw off the tubes that held me down and go solve the problem.

These things continually remind me how precious our time is with one another. We must have focus and fulfill our purpose for living, uplifting and inspiring whom we can, giving and receiving, while praying for those in need and actively doing something to make individual lives better, especially when we have no control over it and feel helpless.

Although financial support is wonderful, the most powerful thing we can do is to pray for their little family. Pray for Mason and his mother and father. God knows exactly who they are.
