God’s plans are miraculous! I’m a “miracle baby” as you know from reinadg my blog, and my heart thrills with this story of Matthew. The plans of God succeed.Thanks for your encouraging words on my blog. Even though moments of frustration arise (from weariness I’m sure), I am cherishing this time with my parents. Thanks for the gentle reminder.Blessings,Joy
