MIRACLES STILL HAPPEN

On Saturday I witnessed a miracle. I sat there and watched it unfold all around me. What an amazing opportunity to see God at work. Prayers were answered right before my very eyes. God is so good. On Saturday my friend's daughter was reunited with the 9 year old daughter she hadn't seen in 4 years. It was beautiful. A blonde, brown-eyed little girl running into the arms of the mother whose eyes she shares. Watching them wrap up in each other was beyond precious. The years of wondering melted away. I know Hailey has agonized over her mother's absence. I've watched her. She has a wonderful family. Her father and stepmom are part of this miracle. But there's something about your own mother - knowing her - looking in her face - seeing your own eyes in hers - reflections of you in her - being held in her arms - comforted with her tears. All these things and more are what Hailey has missed for 4 years. On Saturday she got to experience all that and more for 6 glorious hours. Six hours she will cherish for years to come. I thank God that He worked this miracle in the life of this little girl. I pray He will continue to apply the balm of His love on her heart. And on the heart of her mother. I pray for the miracle to continue, to grow. I pray that these two will reconnect in a way we never dreamed possible. And I thank God for the two people who have such generous hearts that they would allow this reunion to take place - Hailey's father and stepmom. May they be blessed beyond measure for their love for this little girl. I will never, ever stop praying for something again that seems to be taking so long for God to do. He has His own timing and in the fullness of His time He will work miracles. I know - I witnessed one on Saturday.
