Julia's Passport
How we searched for Julia's ticket and passport! Somehow they hadn't been put into the locked security box where we usually put important papers and documents.
The 3 kids who were here from America and us gathered together and prayed. And we searched. Every possible place, we thought. Finally we called Julia's parents in California. Her father said, "Remember when I was there I gave them to you one evening before bedtime. But don't worry. We can get a new passport and replace the ticket." But that would take many days and leave Julia (age 7) here alone while her brother and his friend (both 9) went on ahead home.
I went to make another telephone call and was absentmindedly shuffling through some papers that had collected by the telephone. Imagine my feelings when....there were Julia's important items! Did we ever have a praise service! That was a firsthand lesson for those 3 children of God's intervention. I hope they never forget it!
