On Friday, we received a grant check in the mail. Compared to the amount that we still need, the check was quite small. But friends, the generosity behind the gift was beyond compare. Along with the check was a note, so lovingly written, that it brought tears to my eyes.
It's true that we lost a large amount of money with David's unexpected work issue. It was discouraging and disappointing to know that the money that could be used to give a child a hope and a future was being used for things that would not last. But, if we hadn't lost the money, we would have missed out on the opportunity to experience such deep love and concern from God's people. So many of you have bought bracelets, purchased t-shirts, or given generously to R.'s adoption fund. We are humbled and grateful in the midst of your love and care.
We thank God for each one of you. You are a gift to us! And your gifts for R. have brought us to our knees, praising the Father for the generosity of strangers and friends. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! You kindness has truly touched our hearts.

We did a fundraiser last year and were so humbled by gifts of ANY amount. Sometimes the smallest were the most sacrificial. What a gift you received!

You have a great perspective. God is always faithful.
