The Lord is good! Rachel's purse was stolen on Saturday. Sunday evening, right before church, we get an anonymous call from a lady in Denver saying she had found Rachel's driver's license at an antique mall. She said she would send it to us in the mail. We fully expected to see it when we opened the mailbox yesterday.
What we didn't expect was the second envelope we received with completely different handwriting. It was stuffed to the brim with our insurance cards, photos, a check I had already endorsed, and most importantly, Ax's baby bracelet from the hospital. There were many other items that someone really had to dig through the purse to find. What a thoughtful thief! Or, could it be that someone is being convicted by the Spirit of God?
We continue to stand on the promise found in Proverbs 6:30-31 "People do not despise a thief if he steals to satisfy himself when he is starving. Yet when he is found, he must restore sevenfold; He may have to give up all the substance of his house."
God does answer prayer!

That is awesome....
Wow! Zaisy's prayer really touched me. She is a woman of faith and this experience for her growth couldn't be purchased for the price of five purses of money. I love you all and am sorry you have to have bad things happen like that.
The Catholic church is really in need of money right now so we never park on their property.

When I read this post, I thought WOW that is awesome that someone returned all of that stuff. Then I went a to the next post and read about Zaisy saying a prayer and I thought well no wonder...there is something powerful that happens when children pray...I believe it is the fact that they pray and believe (and have a lot of faith) for what they are praying. I am glad that you guys were able to get all the "memories" that were in Rachel's purse back. Love you guys!

God works miracles! It is so great you got that picture back of Jon with a full head of hair! ;) Absolutely amazing!!!!
Is that ACTUALLY a Picture of John in there... Wow, he did have hair once.
On a more serious note, I am glad that the items were returned. One less thing to worry about while getting ready to embark!
