I just received confirmation that Earl made it to his destination. I have the biggest smile on my face right now. I actually was able to talk to him and he said people helped him along the way and even paid for some of his meals! When God makes provisions for us, He doesn't mess around. Earl's family is so very happy - I could hear the celebration in the background! What a joyful day!

I got chills when I read this...God bless the people who even assisted in his meals and especially the ones that made sure he got on the right buses, another one of our many prayers heard and answered. I'm bawling AGAIN, and its not pretty, I'm already stuffed up, this just makes me want to do a jig.
Thank you Jesus for giving Earl a safe trip, and for allowing others to come to his need, you always provide for us, now let rejoicing begin on his new journey with his family, be with the one that made this all possible, cause without your guidance dear Lord, she wouldn't have known to do some of things she did to help her friend Earl find his family. Thank you Jesus, we all love you!
Amen
Praise the LORD!!!!!!
How wonderful; like Annette, I have chills also. I'm SO happy for Earl and his family!!

This is one of the best "stories" I have heard in such a long long time. You have done such a good work, I am just so happy for Earl and his family. And YOU! Your heart must be about to bust. You certainly earned a place in heaven, if they could be earned, with a huge mansion and the works. Joni, you are such just a good person and I love having met you.
