Thanks to God for His gift

Jacqueline Fosdick

When my husband was transferred to Los Angeles, we found a suitable home for ourselves and our four children. Three of our children were in grade school, and because the school was on a busy main street, it was difficult to pick them up in the car, as I had done in the past. So our plan was for them to meet at the flagpole after school and walk home together.

One day after we started this plan, two of our kids came running home and said they had seen their sister (a first-grader) being kidnapped by a stranger, who drove her away in a car.

I panicked at first. I started to drive over to the school to see if I could find her, but soon turned around and went back home. I knew I had to calm the children and myself by praying for God's powerful help. And so we discussed what they had seen, and replaced every negative thought with thoughts of what was true spiritually—what was really going on in His eyes.
