I met a long-time friend for lunch last week. She had received our letter and wanted to bless our family with a financial gift towards our adoption. A few days earlier, a co-worker did the same. The gifts total enough to cover what we've spent thus far (homestudy and agency application fees).
The gratitude I feel is immeasurable. We are a long way from our goal but each small sacrifice is a huge blessing. I pray that the gifts are returned 100 fold.
Luke 6:38 (The Living Bible: For if you give, you will get! Your gift will return to you in full and overflowing measure, pressed down, shaken together to make room for more, and running over. Whatever measure you use to give---large or small---will be used to measure what is given back to you.
We pray often: Lord, please keep your flood of provision coming our way. You know our needs and the deadlines at hand. We trust you.
