Providence Unknown

Dear Brother,

A couple of weeks ago you and I were talking about the adoption of your daughters. You mentioned that younger children that are adopted from other countries often fear being sent back. In your sharing you also mentioned that the year your two daughters were brought to the United States a law was passed and signed by the President that basically stated “The moment that child sets foot on US soil they are declared a citizen of the United States, and given all the rights of such.”

Over the next few weeks I’ve pondered this conversation and thought about God’s wonderful providence. That at the same time your two daughters were being adopted men and women who never met you or your family were crafting legislation that would seal your daughters’ security as citizens. No letters were sent by you or your wife asking for such things and yet your Heavenly Father, in His providence caused such a law to be enacted.

Isn’t it wonderful how His providence often is unknown by us until we are looking back in time.
