Just a little story to share -
My friend lost her 12-year companion today. She was a dog who was her constant confidante and playmate, and sometime reason-for-living. While I was out with this friend this afternoon, we were in the parking lot over by her car. She had given me some dog food to get it out of her car, and burst into tears. I went over and put a hand on her shoulder, when a man walked up and offered to help us. (He must've thought she had car trouble) We told him no, we were OK. He asked again, watching her, and I quietly told him that she had lost her pet today. He very quietly asked if he could pray for us. I said yes, and she nodded. That precious saint prayed for her dog to be returned to her, for God to comfort her, for Jesus to be her helper, etc. It was so obvious he was a Christian. He said Amen, then checked on her again to see if there was anything he could do. I quietly explained that her pet had died - he smiled and said it was OK, Jesus knew her heart and would answer every prayer. Then he smiled and walked away.
I just love that God sends angels unlooked for. He was just the right touch at a hard time, and I felt really ministered to. I was able to send my friend home knowing that God had sent her a personal touch, to build up her faith and comfort her.
She wasn't the only one.

I thank God for you. I am not sure how to really begin like trying to express my feelings for what you have done. It will always be deep in my heart, for what love and support you gave us today.
