Jacob's Bike Blessing


Just a week after successfully passing the Bicycle Obstacle course at our local fire department and receiving a new helmet, Jacob's Haro bike was stolen from the church parking lot where he goes to school. After a few days of shock and searching and much prayer, we decided we would start shopping yard sales to get him an old bike to use until Dave got a new job. However, God decided to answer Jacob's many prayers in a different way. We went to school the next week and a girl in his first grade class had organized a fundraiser to help Jacob buy a new bike. Then his Aunt Laura found out that we were planning on selling some of his old toys at the Flea Market to raise some more money since Jacob wanted a bike with foot pegs, etc that he could really enjoy, and she contributed to his purchase. Another week later, Jacob purchased his dream bike and we bought a lock!
