Two Foster Children Receive “Christmas Miracle”

Deuteronomy 31:6 NCV Be strong and brave. Don’t be afraid of them and don’t be frightened, because the Lord your God will go with you. He will not leave you or forget you.”

Two young foster children in Tennessee were granted a “Christmas miracle” when a prayer sent into the sky this summer was answered.

Eva, 6, and Jasmine, 8, were taking part in Vacation Bible School at the church they attended in east Tennessee. The children were told to put a prayer request inside a balloon that would be inflated with helium and released into the air.

So the girls wrote a note asking God to allow them to be adopted by the foster parents who had been caring for them during the last two months. The balloon was released with 30 others.

None of the balloons were ever heard from again…except for Eva and Jasmine’s.

The balloon made its way to a trailer park in McHenry, Maryland. The people who found the balloon mailed it back to the girl’s foster parents, Lynn and Dennis.

Lynn told WBIR-TV and the Christian Post the balloon being found was a message from God that she and her husband should adopt the girls. They had been praying for God’s direction and felt the balloon was confirmation they were to follow their hearts.

On Tuesday, a judge legally made the girls the daughters of Lynn and Dennis.
