I admire strong brave people, because there are times when I’m not brave and when I’m not strong.
But I know two young people who are both brave and strong.
Zach and Dalton are giant-slayers.
In 2010 Zach started on his quest to slay the giant.
The Doctors could not figure out what was going on in his small body. His red blood cells were being killed as soon as they were being made. Steroids and blood transfusions kept him alive.
But there came a time when he needed a stronger intervention.
In steps his big brother, Dalton, who was a perfect match for bone marrow donation.
Before he was to go into the hospital for the procedure, Zach, his parents and members of the church planned a celebration of life service.
When Zach was just a small thing he gave his heart to Christ, and I don’t know of too many adults who show such faith in the Savior as this young man.
Below I’ve posted the service in its entirety. Zach chose all the songs. And I have to say, an adult couldn’t have done a better job. The songs are powerful and spoke to what he is going through right now.
