unexpected sources

I've been part of an online forum since November and am so thankful for the wonderful group of people I've met there. I never imagined that I would find such a degree of friendship and support among people I (mostly) haven't met.
Last week I was faced with the possibility of surgery, requiring a week or more of childcare assistance during recovery. Within hours of mentioning the problem on the forum, one dear friend offered to come to my house and help every day while two others invited me to stay in their homes, caring for me and my little one while I recovered.
I had prayed that the necessary assistance would be provided and the offers came from many sources. I have now discovered that the surgery is not necessary, but I feel blessed to have experienced God's abundance.
