A Story of Love

Overwhelmed with Amazement!

Today I was reading my Bible about one of the miracles Jesus was performing. The people were overwhelmed with amazement. Yesterday our family was overwhelmed with amazement as a group of young ladies were the hands and feet for Christ. This group of girls which are called Girls for God or G4G for short had a Valentines Day Bake Sale to help raise money for Sarah’s plane ticket to go bring her brother home. We were overwhelmed with amazement at these girls. They followed the Lord’s leading and took action to make a difference.

 They made a beautiful flier for their sale I have to share their words as they capture Christ’s love.

“1Corinthians 13:4-7 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, love is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs, love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. Love always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.”

“Six girls. Six hearts. One club. Elizabeth, Katelyn, Anna, Amanda, Jessica, and Sophia are all a part of a club called Girls for God. G4G for short. We are selling Valentine’s treats to help raise money for Sarah’s plane ticket. Sarah is the older sister-to-be of Cargan, the boy her family is adopting from China. It is very expensive to adopt, let alone buy plane tickets. We decided to help Sarah raise money for her ticket and spread love to orphans. Please help Sarah out!”  John 15:12 “My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.”

“All over the country on February 14th love will be spread through chocolates and candy….
But around the world, even today, there are many orphans who have never known what love is. That is why we would like to invite you to share love with others while also helping the Lang family adopt Cargan, a boy from China who has probably never felt such love as you could help him get.”

Wow!!! We have been so overwhelmed with amazement with how God has been bringing people around us to help bring home our precious son.  I can’t wait to hear all the things this group of girls will do for the Kingdom of God!
