Dorothy Joy

Joel and I sponsor a little girl named Dorothy Joy through Compassion. Every so often we get a letter in the mail from her mom that has pictures on it Dorothy drew for us. Three days ago we got another letter. Here is an excerpt from it that I wanted to share:


"Melissa and Joel, may God showers His blessings to both of you. May God's grace be upon you, that you may have children. I'm always praying for your safety and for having children."

Wow, we were speechless. Someone all the way over in the Philippines is praying for us to have children. Of course we've never told her about how we've been trying for so long...we've only answered her question of do you have children with a no.

We are thankful for her willing heart and her kind spirit.
