God's economy

Last summer we took a class where we met 3 other couples who were beginning the process as well. We connected - and decided to get together on a quartertly basis to share our stories. Last night was our 3rd event.

These people are a wonderful blessing, because we have people we are walking side by side with through a shared experience.

Last night we were discussing people (such as you who are reading this and have left encouraging comments either on FB or here, or have contacted one of us - or supported us through prayer, emotional support, or materially.) I am thankful for all of you as well.

A scripture came to mind for me -this is the King James of Matt 10:40-41.
40 He that receiveth you receieveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me. 41 He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receiveth a righteous man's reward.

In other words, you, who support and receive us (adopting parents) in the name of Jesus will receive an adopting parent's reward when you get to heaven. Because of your support, encouragement, acceptance, it will be for you as though you adopted yourselves. Our God is overwhelmingly generous.
