Story of the Day
We continued our journey following the one whose feet were lit up by the light. Along the way we encountered a couple of animals, one small and harmless, the other large and looked to be vicious. They had been in battle and tumbled off a shelf causing them to fall eighty feet or so. Both were wounded and unable to move. The smaller animal looked to have a broken leg, the larger animal appeared to have some internal injuries of some sort. So we stopped not sure if we should help one, both or just leave them alone. We decided to help both. The small animal we set the leg and applied a splint. The larger animal was more difficult to care for since we weren't sure what the issue really was. So we cared for him while he was in shock and met his basic needs. We stopped our journey here for several days to nurse these animal back to health and back into the wild.

Prayer of the Day
Lord, this day may I hear Your voice to stop when You wish for me to stop. To put my plans behind me and follow Yours. Show me how to love those that are easy to love along with those that seem to bring fear in love. Teach me Your will and Your way all along this journey with You in life. ---Amen
