We can trully feel the prayers pouring in. That peace that passes all understanding is being felt in full force. My wish is that everyone can feel that peace, it is unimaginable. I have another heartfelt story to tell about the overwhelming love of a child that we have never met! Prepare to cry!
My husband had a very nice man to stop by his office for business purposes, while he was there he saw some of Maddie's green bracelets. Matt explained what the bracelets were for and told him Maddie's story and how we were traveling back and forth to Cincinnati. He took one of Matt's business cards got a green bracelet and returned to his home in Florida. When he got home he told his wife and daughter about Maddie.
Well Friday night Matt received a text from him that he and his daughter would like to talk to Matt. They called to let Matt and Mattie know that his sweet daughter Rachel had been saving for quite some time to purchase an IPod Touch. She wanted to give her money that she had saved all year to help Maddie. Her parents told her to sleep on it and make sure so she slept on Matt's business card all night and got up the next morning to tell her parents she was sure that's what she wanted to do. What a blessing Rachel is.
The love of a child is one of the most amazing gifts God can give us. We don't even know Rachel, yet she did what she felt was right. Rachel you are a hero in our house and I know you are also a hero in God's eyes. The entire family thanks you so very much! I bet you will get that IPod touch before you know it. God always blesses those who bless others.
Lesson for the day, hug your children and always let them be obedient to what God tells them to do because they are such a blessing to others! Remember God is good ALL the time. Please continue to pray for Mattie as she is on her third set of antibiotics in three weeks. She has had a chest wall inflammation, sinus infection and now a double ear infection. She has been on antibiotics for two weeks and they are not working so they started her on the third one yesterday. Please pray this one works. Love you all!
Wow - I did cry. Isn't it wonderful how God uses us if we just let Him? Bravo to Rachel - you will have many jewels on your crown in Heaven one day.
