"This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us--whatever we ask--we know that we have what we asked of Him"- 1 John 5:14-15 (NIV).
We picked up our two baby daughters on the same day, same hour, three years apart. This is that day. It's an emotional day for me. God demonstrated His love by answering a prayer petition that was completely out of my control: He made me a mother. I can't describe the intensity of joy of those two events. We will always hold March 9 as the day God created and enlarged our family. I've got my Kleenex close by, because I've shared the story twice so far this morning. Even after all these years, I still tear up talking about God's wonderful gifts. It absolutely amazes me that the God of all creation hears and answers our prayers, often in ways we never could have imagined. The gift is always wonderful, but the fact that God is listening humbles me and drives me to my knees. Thank you Lord God for Your precious gifts, Your love, and especially Your Son..
