About 1 1/2 years ago, Rita Peters was woken up in the middle of the night. A single mom had given birth to twins and was not able to care for two babies at once. So, she bundled up one of the little boys, only days old, and dropped him off in a box with a note saying she wanted Les and Rita to raise the child. The Peters embraced the baby, named him Timothy Moses, and he is now a vibrant, very joyful part of their lives.
Last week, it happened again! One of the ladies in the church was woken up in the night. She heard someone in the street calling her name. She opened up her door and looked around, but no one was there. She looked down and saw a box with two little boys in it. Someone had left newborn twins on her door step. Once again, there was a note and it read, " Sister Alena, I have been watching you and I know you are a good mom. I know you have already had twins and know how to raise two babies at once. I cannot care for my babies and am giving them to you to raise as you sons." Wow! The babies are less than 4 lbs each - tiny bundles of joy! Yesterday we had a baby shower for her and her four daughters. She believes the babies are a gift from the Lord and she is honoured to raise them. She is a single mom and does not have the resources she needs, but she is trusting the Lord to provide.
Blessings,
Karren
