My Devotional Journal: Today's Our Daily Bread author, James Banks … AT THIS LINK … told of a daughter, whose father declared was missing in action in WW2, who held out hope that here dad would return because he had prearranged to have flowers sent to her in a vase (see photo). And ultimately the daughter’s hope and faith proved right as her father did return from a very dangerous action in the war.
