I didn't know about the gift of Joy!

Six days ago I did a once in a lifetime thing. I donated a kidney to a freind. Wow! Awesome! People are shocked at what I have done. They see the gift that I gave, but they don't see the gift I have received. Or so I thought... This morning I met with some Christian friends and one of them told me about another friend seeing me two days before the transplant. Her description of me is that I was "glowing". When I felt called to give Steve my kidney, I didn't know that I would receive so much inner joy and peace. I am honored to be the one who gave. I set out to save his life, and in so many ways he saved mine.
