Good News For a Change

This morning my dear daughter Allie made my day when she started sharing about how she wanted Jesus to be her best friend and that she knew how Jesus lived in people's hearts. I asked her if she wanted to pray with me to ask Jesus into her heart and she said, "I already did at bedtime last night".

What an amazing joy it is to hear that! She had this huge grin on her face and wanted to know if we could tell Daddy. So of course we did.

Another wonderful thing happened today when I finally decided to call the midwife to finally discuss the balance on our bill. I didn't know what she would charge us since we didn't have the baby there at the birthing center. (We had only paid $300 on our bill so far.) Anyway, they decided to dismiss the REST of our bill because they feel it's part of their ministry. What a huge blessing!

It was nice to see some sunshine peeking through the clouds. :)

Kids just seem to have a way of knowing what to say and how to help us. Don't you think? They are closer to God than we realize.

What a relief about the bill. I'm so glad they were able to do that for you.

You are still in my thoughts and prayers.
