One of our customers contacted Dolls from Heaven about six months ago regarding the St. Joan of Arc doll. She heard about us on a radio interview Brian did for Jennifer Fulwiler, at the time the doll was still in production, so we told her that we would let her know as soon as we started taking pre-orders. Our customer was so excited about the idea of getting a St. Joan of Arc doll for her daughter in law. Once we started taking pre-orders, she placed her order right away. A month and half later, we shipped the doll to her daughter in law directly and her mother in law was notified that the doll have been shipped. A few weeks later, I got an email from the mother in law and this is what she said:
“It was so much fun with Face Time with my daughter in law as she opened the Dolls from Heaven box. She was so excited and we laughed and talked about how it came to be. The 6 month wait from the time I heard your company story on Catholic radio to her opening the box was delightful anticipation. My son is in the Army. There is an award for spouses given for their exceptional work with families. It's the Joan of Arc award. My daughter in law received this award a couple years ago. That is what makes this so special for her and me.”

God is good and He sends little treasures from heaven to make our lives more joyful. Remember to pray for all in the military and their families.
A Soldiers Prayer to St. Joan of Arc
St. Joan of Arc, humble maiden of France, your heavenly Father miraculously endowed you with every military skill and knowledge, and raised you up as the Commander of the armies of France for the blessing of His Church, the protection of His people, and the glory of His Holy Name. By your merits and prayers may God also endow all military men and women with every military skill and knowledge necessary for his station of duty. May his mission always be righteous, and his actions always be courageous, compassionate, and just. And just as you showed your ardent love for Jesus in offering up your life for Him, so may they fulfill all that their duty requires. St. Joan of Arc pray for us that we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ. Amen.
