A Visit From God



I love the way adoption stirs the hearts of people. This is Marah Canfield. Marah showed up on my couch while I was teaching a piano lesson. She drove all the way out to our country home just to buy a puzzle piece. Marah has never been to our house. She had to get directions from her sister. Normally, I write the donor's name on the back of each piece. Today, Marah signed the back of her piece and slid it right into place on the puzzle. Your donations and your prayers do what Marah quite literally did today- piece our family together. We are forever grateful. Whether it takes a stamp, a punch of a paypal button or a drive to our home, it means so much when other people lend their support to our cause. Whether or not they know it, they are a part of a great master plan. We made this decision of faith to adopt knowing that God would provide a way to pay for this monster adoption bill. Every donation, big or small, is a moment of God's faithfulness being revealed to us. So a visit from Marah today felt very much like a visit from God. We are so very blessed by this experience.
