Fortune Cookie

On Sunday, a guy named Trey from church gave me a wonderful gift--the fortune from one of his fortune cookies. He was at a local Chinese restaurant on his son's birthday--April 26, 2009--when he received this fortune.

You will soon witness a miracle.

Lily was born on April 30.

Instead of putting it with Lily's keepsakes, I put it in my Bible. It just seemed appropriate.
This little slip of paper is not only (playfully) a fortune, a predictor of the future. This little slip of paper highlights our fortune. Now, I am not a believer in luck. I believe , however, in blessings, and I believe that smart choices and hard work help good things happen, but not always so. With that being said, our little Lily is our fortune. She is our blessing. And whether or not you put any faith into fortune cookies, this one most certainly came true, and it was enough to cause hope in the heart of the man who received it.
