Prayers, Etc.

Claire has eye surgery scheduled for tomorrow morning, and as concerned parents, we've been praying that all will go well. The girls also recently had a Sunday school lesson on fasting and decided that would be another good way to seek extra help from the Lord. They had a conundrum, however. The neighbors' dog has had health problems as well. Janelle came to me and very seriously asked what should the purpose of her fast be: for Claire or the neighbors' dog. Hmmm, your sister or the neighbors' dog??? I'll have to think about that NEVER! It's not even OUR dog. He chews up our fence and has been known to poop in our yard. AND had we not had our dog fixed early on, she surely would've been de-flowered by him, quite possibly against her will. So my answer to her, pray for the poor dog and his family by all means, but if you're going to go to the effort to fast, do it for your sister. Or for the neighbors to fix the fence - that would be nice too.
