A Combination of Love and Skill
By Mary Kathryn Donachy
I have a story to tell that is in part my assumption of an amazing situation and yet a true and wonderful story. It is the story of a man and his love for humanity combined with a remarkable skill. You can get to know him at the end of my story or just think about the possibilities of using this information as inspiration for your own life.
He was born to a world of opportunity because he had parents who were capable, loving, and bent on teaching him the true values of life. His father was a physician and very skilled in his profession. As the boy grew in love, admiration, and respect for this man, he felt the passion to follow in his footsteps. He had the deep desire to become the kind of caring physician his father was, striving to make the world a better place.
When the day arrived for him to leave his home in India to travel to the United States for medical school, his father was ill. How could he leave and travel so far, at a time when his father could need him most. His wise grandfather said, "Son, the God who will be watching over you in America is the same God who will be caring for your father here in India."
Confident and proud of his achievement, he returned to India a Cardiac Surgeon, focusing on saving the lives of children with congenital heart defects. His proficiency and skill gave life to children who would never have survived to become all the things God meant them to be.
One day this successful surgeon became very sad. He looked into the tear filled eyes of parents who had just lost their only child. "I could have helped them," he thought, feeling their pain. He looked down at the lifeless body and knew that with enough money this couple could have entered into a procedure that might have given life to their child. He was prosperous enough to care for himself and his own, but when he looked about at all the many little children in India that needed his skill, he knew he could not financially provide enough for so many. His compassion for the children went straight to his heart and made its way to his exceptional brain. There had to be a way. There must be an answer to this ongoing tragedy.
As my story goes on, he never gave up until he was successful in finding an avenue of hope. He would labor over his profession diligently, then go to his computer, tired, exhausted and determined to find a way to help a child live. For at least five years he studied the internet until he became an internet marketer, known world-wide for his expertise in the field. He is now an online marketing expert, owner of the popular Ezine Marketing Center and author of many ebooks, reports, tutorials, home study courses and print publications spanning various facets of building and growing a small business using the power of the internet. For over ten years he has influenced countless e-publishers, home business owners and internet marketers with his powerful writing, insight and experience. He is also an active entrepreneur, philanthropist and teacher.
Who would have thought that the tears of saddened parents, the weakening bodies of little children, and the many numbers of little lives around him would drive him so furiously that he would work around the clock at times, trying to make it possible for children to survive congenital heart defects. He is continually making it possible with his internet business to provide surgery and care for so many that however tired he becomes, there is joy in his heart. He hasn't reached his goal completely, because it is an ongoing ministry on his part. He is saving the lives of many children and I am so excited, because - know what? I helped. I am there behind him in every way possible. The hearts that he holds in his hands help to make him the exceptional man that he is. However, it is the heart that beats inside him, a heart of love and compassion that has brought together his skill and love that has changed the lives of so many.
Sounds like an astounding person, doesn't he? Would you like to meet him? He is there for you, waiting to hear from us all, and will respond to you without hesitation. I received an email from him unexpectedly one day as an answer to prayer and he has been my hero ever since.
This is not an advertisement, it is not a prompt. He has no idea I've written this to you. I just had to share my friend with the world. His name is Dr. Mani Sivasubramanian. He is beginning a new campaign to raise more money for his children and I plan to be a part of that. Perhaps you will be inspired to make the same choice. His work and success in that area is absolutely unbelievable.
