the starfish


I was walking on the beach the morning after we arrived here in Hilton Head.  I was thinking about Lily and how we have not received an update on her recently.  I was feeling like she was so distant from us event  though she is our daughter.   I was saying a prayer that she would be safe and loved until we get her.  As I finished that prayer I looked down and found this starfish.  I have never found a starfish before on the beach.  This starfish has a malformed leg.  It right away reminded me of Lily and her little malformed ear.  To me the starfish is perfect-just like she is.  I know in my heart that God spoke to me that morning and gave me that gift of a starfish.  It is my Lily starfish.
