I just decided that maybe God was calling them to my attention because I would be faithful.<br />Thank you so much for sharing such a touching story. God does everything on purpose and on time doesn't he? I guess even when it hurts. Have a wonderful day. xo rachelA Romantic Porchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14548579518033537549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1934579070684149103.post-40432388051493802082009-09-30T09:54:41.278-05:002009-09-30T09:54:41.278-05:00Hi Rebecca,

I contemplated at first, even sharing that I knew him with you, as I wasn't even positive it was him until I spoke to his sister. She confirmed the little boy's face from your June post of this year. After that, I knew you would want to know. I too felt this was no coincidence, but rather God's gentle love for you and I wanted to share it with you. Doyle had a little bit of suffering and it was hard for his family and all of us to experience this heartache. He was truly though, a man of God and touched many people he came in contact with his love and determination. I was blessed to know him as you are.<br />Thank you, dear friend for this loving tribute to him...he would have been so humbled by it.<br />Glory to God...With love, dear friend, Mary H.Mary Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02757873311975752026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1934579070684149103.post-71177636952586180612009-09-29T19:36:34.398-05:002009-09-29T19:36:34.398-05:00I believe too that nothing in life is an accident ...I believe too that nothing in life is an accident sweet Rebecca.

I am glad you were able to find out about your friend, Doyle. He was a kind and caring person. Your post about your teacher is one of my favorites (maybe as a retired teacher I can really identify with it). Thank you for sharing your amazing story. Sending autumn best wishes your way.
