Remember when we started this? Well it is finally finished! We are so in awe and humbled by how God has provided for Calli Faith's adoption. This puzzle has definitely become a reminder to us of how He has been faithful to provide and to carry us through the process of bringing her into our family.
We bought a 1,000 piece puzzle and each piece was sold for $5. The names on the back of the pieces represent 80 different families, donations and help with three garage sales, five different grants, and a Pampered Chef party. Two families sold cars and gave us what they made, two families gave us their tax return, an anonymous family gave us the change they collected for many months, staff of two different schools bought pieces, and many more gave sacrificially for Calli's adoption. Most of the pieces were bought one at a time with friends and family giving $5 here, $10 there. We are so overwhelmed with thanksgiving.
Our family mission statement is "The Dane family mission is to impact God's kingdom by living and loving generously." We have been encouraged and inspired towards greater obedience and generosity by seeing that shown in the lives of our friends and family.
From the bottoms of our hearts, thank you for how you have helped bring our Calli-girl home. We can't wait to let her meet each of you!! God bless you!
