I was pretty disappointed that we did not receive our referral yesterday, but after a good cry I felt a bit better. Well...let me tell you...yesterday afternoon it was proven again that there is always someone in a worse situation than you find yourself in.
Referrals were reported to be through June 6. One agency had 19 families who were June 6 LID. They celebrated most of the day that their referrals were on the way. They laughed, they cried, they called family members, they took their kids out of school for a special celebration day. About 4 p.m. they received an email from their agency saying, "Oops! You are June 7 LID. Sorry for the mistake." This means that they will not receive their referral this month after all.
So...putting this into perspective, we were actually blessed to learn right away that our LID date was not in this batch. A good cry would not be enough to console me after celebrating all day & calling family. What a terrible thing to have to call people again to say that it wasn't true after all.
Today we look at our delays & frustration & disappointment and say, "The Lord has done great things for us, and we are glad." Psalm 126:3
Be assured that if God takes longer than you wish, it is only to make the blessing all the more precious. ~Unknown
"For the Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord bestows favor and honor; no good thing does he withhold from those whose walk is blameless." Psalm 84:11
