Greater Plans

We recieved this in an email today and it really touched my heart in our time of need.
"God had even greater plans for her. He sovereignly and lovingly chose to adopt her Himself, and now, you are right – she IS with Jesus."
We want to thank you all for the many thoughts and prayers they mean so much to us now.
God Bless,
Charley

I feel like there just aren't enough words to express how sorry we are. I only pray that the peace of God will keep your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. We love you and thinking about you continually.

Praise the LORD that "this world" is NOT the end, that He has gone to prepare a place for us who believe in Him. I can't wait to meet this precious child one day in heaven.
I look forward to watching the LORD bless your family.

What a blessing that God opened your heart to a baby with special needs. We have adopted 4 special needs babies from China and it has been the most rewarding experience. Our first child, Emma has Hep B (very managable) our second child, Andra has a cleft lip, our third child, Bella has a cleft lip and pallate, and our fourth child, Cyra has a missing finger and "tags" which are raised birth marks that cover over half of her body. Although we feel we have blessed them with a family, hope & a future, the blessings they have brought to us are immeasurable. I will be praying for you that God leads you to the child who needs you. After all, isn't that what this is all about?
In Christ, Elaine.

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord. Plans to prosper you, not to harm you. Plans to give you a hope and a future. Jer. 29:11

We are so sorry about your little one but God is the great Comforter in your time of need. We are praying for you. The Barber Family
