I purchased some bracelets to give as gifts at a little market in Jerusalem when I was there on pilgrimage last year. I kept a pink one for myself. It was a simple beaded bracelet but it had meaning and memories. I was with Laurence on his doctor visit yesterday to OHSU and when we left I realized my bracelet was missing. Going back was not an option. I thought to myself, I am going to trust that my bracelet will be replaced. Don’t know how or when but I know nothing is ever lost in God.

As we were finishing lunch today, my dear friend Pam pulled a little bag out of her purse and presented her handmade gift to me. Not one, but seven beautiful emerald green and sapphire blue beaded bracelets. My missing bracelet was returned in 24 hours. Multiplied. With Love.

One of many signs and wonders that God so graciously provides. A reminder to me to let go and trust God for my good. There is nothing for me to do. Only stand in faith. I am so grateful God is so gracious.
