Thankful

This past week we received our "On Deck" email from our agency. That basically means that our family is one of the next families that will be matched/recieve a referral for our child. It could still be 1-3 months but it feels awesome to be at this point in the process. I wanted to share a story of something that happened today. Scott was at work and a nice young man came to his office. He had known that we were adopting and he shared with Scott that he and his wife were really interested in adoption as well. They're young with a little baby but they still wanted to plan a time to get together to talk more about adoption. They agreed to talk to their wives and make a plan. As he was leaving Scott's office he handed him an envelope. To our surprise, it had a check for $500.00!! FOR US!! For our adoption!! To think that this sweet young family wanted to partner with us to help a child find a 'forever family' is simply awesome! Scott called and told me and I started to cry, so thankful for the ways God provides for our family.

2 Corinthians 9:11
'Yes, you will be enriched in every way so that you can always be generous. And when we take your gifts to those who need them, they will thank God.'
