today's very worthwhile read

"Destiny itself is like a wonderful wide tapestry in which every thread is guided by an unspeakably tender hand, placed beside another thread and held and carried by a hundred others."-Rilke

If any of you are looking for a beautiful story to make your Sunday complete, please go visit this blog and read the post entitled "Tapestry."  Be sure to read all the links as you come to them--they perfectly interject pieces of the story necessary to understand the fullness of its overall arc.  The post was written by the family who led their friends to find Vanya.  It blessed me so much this morning!

To quote the mom author of that blog, "I can't wait to tell this story- it is redemptive, poetic, glorious, and amazing! And I am humbled and honored to be a part of it!"  Her words, which I shared just because they were so true (and so cute).  But I just realized they could be my words too--me sharing with you here, and me being thrilled to be part of the bigger story, because I was one of many who prayed and gave a little bit towards the efforts that would help Vanya's new family to bring him home.  Did any of you give, or pray?  If so, then you are part of the story too.

And so the tapestry is woven, ever more beautiful with more and more threads. . . .
