I have had the most incredible experience this week. God allowed me the privilege to be his hands in working a Christmas miracle for a family who lost everything in the Paradise California fire.
I was just randomly reading articles online when I clicked on a story about a little 6 year old who read about a little boy who had lost all his hot wheels cars in the fire and he told his Mom he wanted to donate some of his hot wheel cars to that little boy. They had a link in the article to the Paradise Fire Adopt a Family group https://www.facebook.com/groups/paradisefireadoptafamily that I clicked on and was scrolling through some of the posts when I happened upon a picture of a pink kitty with the words "I need a Christmas Miracle" She had been searching and searching for a copy of her daughter's favorite pink kitty stuff animal that got burned up in the fire. For 3 days hundreds of people have been scouring the internet searching for this pink kitty because it was the only thing her daughter wanted for Christmas this year.
I instantly recognized the kitty as ones I had bought a few years ago for Janessa's 6th Angel Birthday. It sat at her grave for her 6th angel b-day and her 1/2 b-day. It brought me peace and comfort and joy as I remembered her. I found the 2 kittys in my box of remembrance stuff animals and the one was the exact duplicate of the lost pink kitty. I tried to comment then realized you had to join the group to comment. I felt an urgency to get a hold of this desperate mother. I prayed the group would allow me in quickly. Within 5 min. I was allowed in and I posted pictures and a message and then tried to message her. Within a couple of hours the Mom contacted me in tears because it was the exact kitty she was looking for. She wanted to pay me for them, I replied no and explained about Janessa and that I wanted them to be a gift to her in remembrance of Janessa. I quickly boxed them up and now both kittys are on their way to their new home, where I hope they will bring peace, comfort, and joy to a precious little 5 year old girl who is going through a very hard time right now.
Words can not even describe the feelings I have right now. I am in awe that God prepared these kitties years ago when I bought them and that I hung onto them because He knew they would be needed now. I feel so much joy and happiness I could burst in being able to remember and honor Janessa and also my Dad in this way. This was exactly the miraculous experience I needed in my life right now to help me with holiday blues I have been feeling. I felt a hug from Heaven from my Dad and my Angel Babies.
BEST CHRISTMAS GIFT EVER!!!!! 
Such an amazing heartwarming story!!! God's hands are in everything we do - so glad you were able to be a part of this story.
