Story of the Day
The small dog came out of nowhere. As I was driving he darted in front of my path. I did what I could to avoid contact, but hit the dog anyway. I stopped and went back and found a blanket in my trunk. Picking the dog up, I took it to a vet nearby. As the vet examined the small dog, he said that the dog would be fine. The vet placed a wing like splint on the dog's leg and gave him back to me. With no collar on the dog or any identification, I took the dog home. Took care of him and nursed him along to health. That dog was one of the best dogs I have ever had.

Prayer of the Day
Lord, take me in. In my tears of pain I cry out to You for help. Take me in and mend me up and heal me to bring You joy. For I know of Your care. I know how You bless beyond belief and I trust in Your loving kindness and care. Permit me to bring joy to Your heart and to return love to You. You alone are my Savior and ever present help. ---Amen
