Joyce I have always said that God answers all prayers, we may not always like His answers but we are never ignored. Thank you for this beautiful words.

Hello Joyce,

Thank you for the nice comment on "Another Spring,:

I was moved by your "Because I Believe." Very nice.

You seem to think like I do -- that a poet has a mission to jog minds, and open hearts...

A strong faith as yours is the best
A joy to read this Joyce.....

PRAISES, PRAISES JOYCE....THANK YOU DEAR LORD FOR THE BOYS SAFE RETURN.

Thank you also Joyce for bridging the gap.
Continued love, and peace to you and that dear family.

Sincerely,
~Gwendolyn

Happy to read this!!

God Bless Those Who Care!!

Love Tinka

prayers are amazing miracles, beautifully portrayed by your loving words of faith

Joyce, this is so beautiful! I am so happy for those little boys and for you who never gave up the faith. God bless you and the wee ones. Now, maybe all of us should go read Cat in the Hat! what an uplifting story.

HALLELUJAH!!! HE IS FAITHFUL!!!

Joyce, you are an overflowing river with your marvelous steadfast faith..... and wonder-working love. It's easy to see the presence of our LORD in your face, SISTER! And now the brothers have seen it, too! AND THEY HAVE SEEN FAITH AT WORK.........WHERE TWO OR MORE BELIEVE.

Thank you and God bless you, for the good report - and thank You, Jesus, for their safe return!!!

Love to you and the precious lads, Rhonda

Oh Joyce, this is amazing news. Praise the Lord, yes, yes, yes, praise the Lord, for He is good. I feel like jumping up and down for the boys. Thank you, Lord for your kind mercies and answer to prayer. Joyce, we were indeed spiritually connected yesterday. Praise the Lord. He sure works in mysterious ways! I did intend to post another write titled FACING STORMS, but WHOM to BELIEVE forced its way forward. Now I see why...and now I will post FACING STORMS...just for you. :) You're going to see the connection, just as I have. You penned a beautiful, touching write!

God Bless you, my friend. Thanks for the terrific review, too.
Much love and hugs (hug the boys too.)
Lena

Joyce,

All right! God is good, isn't He. A beautiful report! and write!!

(((HUGS)) and love, Karla.

Terrific news, Joyce; the Lord sure is good, isn't He?? Well done!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :D

This is certainly wonderful news, Joyce. It must have felt like a miracle had occurred when you walked into that classroom and discovered your prayers had been answered. Prayers do produce blessings---Thank God!

Joyce, I truly believe that Prayer brought these little boys home, they have been on my heart so heavy this past week. The tears of joy are running down my face as I write, I can imagine how their mother feels. This poem is written so beautifully and flows so naturally. I could just feel the excitement building as I knew it was about the boys, I know one fine lady that is walking around with a smile on her face today, right? (hugs for you!)

Blessings & Peace,
Linda Wells

I am reminded of the exhuberance of Rhoda when she answered the knock at the gate while the others continued to pray. She recognised Peter's voice, she did not need to look at his face; she knew it was him - an answer to prayer. She ran back to the praying group, but they said she was mad.
In other words, Joyce, your reaction to the boy's beaming smile was enough. As with Rhoda you knew prayer had been answered and in a remarkable way.

Thanks for sharing this testimony to the power of prayer.

Regards
Dai

Dear Joyce.. I am so glad the boys are back! Thanks for letting us know this wonderful news. The power of prayer is awsome. Nice poem. ...M

Our God is an awesome God!!! Thank you for updating us!

What Marvelous News! And what a marvelous moment it must have been for you, Joyce. It appears your prayers for that family were indeed answered.

The rewards of purposeful faith are amazing for all. You've said it so well in your poem. Readers can feel the deep trust have in your God. Your friends are pleased that this one has turned out so well. - Bill

Joyce,

Beautiful rendering of your faith Joyce. I am not up to steam regarding the two boys, but I gather they are charges of yours that have been walkabout as we say here. Glad they are back, God bless you,
Ch'erie

Your faith has rewarded those boys and will continue to bless them. This was a wonderful poem for you to share with us.

Thank God you believed. I glad you have others here and at home to agree with you.

Thank God! May you have much more stories of love to tell; to share to one and all! Let your love keep shining, you share to one and all!
Peace,Grace,Love,
