Dear Friends in Christ -
It's time for THANKSGIVING. Yes, even in the cold. Yes, even though it's Lent. Yesterday, I celebrated with Nikki as she wrapped her arms around Aliette, her daughter recently arrived from Haiti. After over a month of waiting and praying, of ups and downs and twists and turns, of paperwork vanishing and miraculously resurfacing, of government roadblocks and pardons, Aliette is at home in her mother's arms. It's a miracle. A series of miracles, really.
Days like this make real the power of prayer, the grace of community and the reality of God's loving care for each and every one of us, no matter how big or small we are.
Please do continue to keep Nikki, Olivia, and Aliette in your prayers as they live into becoming a family of 3. If you're interested in knowing more, please see Nikki's blog at www.nikkiandolivia.blogspot.com.
Thanksgiving . . . thanksgiving . . . thanksgiving . . . joy . . . joy . . . joy!
Faithfully rejoicing,
Janet+
