Give Thanks to the Lord

family_2013Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; his love endures forever. Let the redeemed of the Lord say this - those he redeemed from the hand of the foe, those he gathered from the lands, from east and west, from north and south.  Some wandered in desert wastelands, finding no way to a city where they could settle. They were hungry and thirsty, and their lives ebbed away. Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress.  He led them by a straight way to a city where they could settle. Let them give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds from men, for He statisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things. Psalms 107: 1-9

Michelle's prayer

Michelle's dogGod answered a prayer for our Michelle. She had been praying almost daily for a dog, even asked that God would bring the dog to our door.  Well, when Jonathan opened our electric gate, in runs in this small, black pup - all the way into our living room  to Michelle.   We searched for possible owners, but ended up convinced it had been mistreated and abandoned.  In our care it has had 2 surgeries to repair it’s broken jaw and teeth. Now ‘Cookie’ is a lively part of our family.
