Beth posted this amazing story a couple of days ago. I couldn't resist sharing it as well. It has become one of my 11 year old's favorites. Thank you, Lord, for miracles.

Sometimes a sentence just drops me in my tracks. Kidnapping young girls has long been part of the marriage custom in Ethiopia. The United Nations estimates that more than 70 percent of marriages in Ethiopia are by abduction, practiced in rural areas where most of the country’s 71 million people live. Marriage by abduction. Puts a scary twist on the concept of the Bridegroom.

Lord, be merciful to all people. My heart cries out to You.
