Post Waiting

Finally, the Lord did not ask me to keep waiting too much longer. When I got home from work (and from running to the SPCA to look for the dogs) a man called to say he had seen my poster and had our dogs. I am sure you can all imagine how much I cried!!
The dogs were well taken care of by this little family. They have a 8 or 10 year old boy and he was very kind. They all were.
The man had seen Mia in the middle of the road on Sunday and brought her into his car so she wouldn't get hit by a car. He then saw Sidka on the side of the road so picked him up too. He said he knew they belonged to someone because they are purebreads and because they seemed well taken care of. So he waited to see my posters.

Well, I am thrilled. Adam also! Things seem back to normal for me with my husband back from a long weekend out hunting and the dogs back from an agonizing 3 days!!

So I praise the Lord for His answer to my prayers and for the lessons He has taught me through all of this!!
Thanks for your prayers also!!

Waiting

I am sure I am not the only one who finds it difficult when God does not answer a prayer right away.
This week has been a real test for me in this area.
The dogs were taken from our home on Sunday afternoon. I dont have a lot of details to share, only that they never leave the yard and go into the street. And I am a good "mother", in that I keep an eye out for them and go outside every few minutes to check on them. But something happened and they are gone! I have been fervently praying for their safe return and putting up posters etc around the neighbourhood and even in Gatineau. But so far, nothing has come up. And I am getting discouraged. Really discouraged.
Those dogs are our babies. We drove hours to pick them up and we have spent countless hours training them and cleaning up after them.
And I can only pray for their safe return. There is nothing left for me to do. And that is discouraging!!
Please pray that my joy returns in the midst of these circumstances.
And of course, for the Lord to answer my plea.
