It is 1:10am and I couldn’t wait to tell the world the good news.  God has done it again.  A friend of mine was in a board meeting at 8pm earlier this evening and at the end he shared our situation and they spent some time in prayer and then one man said…we should know someone with a plane. Well they did and he is having his pilots fly to New York in the morning and pick us up. That is the short version.  This good gift shortens our day by 5 hours and Rhonda’s stress and pain by…only God knows. Thank all of you for praying. I am weak with God’s goodness in this gift. You know the kind of weakness where you just sit and stare and wonder if this is really happening.  Well it is and it is a great provision on a number of fronts.  I am especially humbled because God is teaching me that he is my Father and he loves me. Yes, I know I should know this, but I’m a slow learner. Anyway I have been reading the Gospel of Matthew and I was struck by the beauty of God’s love in Matthew 7:7-11 about prayer. The key for me was verse 11…if you, then, though you are evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask Him.

My heavenly Father does know how to give good gifts and he does give them when we ask. In this case there have been so many asking OUR Heavenly Father that we can all rejoice in this great gift.

Well I need to get some sleep even if my days stress has been reduced 100 fold.

Thank you all for bringing us to Jesus. He has seen your faith and is pouring out his compassion on us.
