Thought for the Day

MDP has a "Goat Bank" project in which a she goat is bought for a widow lady. The first offspring of the goat is given back to MDP to pass on to another widow, there after, the widow is able to build up a herd. This enables the widow to provide milk for her children and eventually provide a small income for her as well.

A year ago, a decease went through called Rift Valley Fever, killing many of the livestock and goats. As I visited with the participants of the program many of them had already lost their goat. A plan was made for the remaining goats to receive vaccinations to hopefully save those that were left and not yet affected by the decease.

That day, I went to visit a crippled grandmother, a participant of the goat bank project. At the same boma was another widow with three children, who was also a participant. Upon inquiry, the younger widow told me that her goat had already died and that the goat of the grandmother was affected. The goat was losing function of it's legs and unable to stand. She showed me the goat and indeed it kept falling down, trying to stand up but continually falling. I asked the grandmother if she would like me to pray for her goat, to which she readily agreed. I prayed for the grandmother and that God would save the life of her goat by healing it. After visiting a bit longer, I left.

Last week while in Siana, I asked about the grandmother's goat. I was told that the goat was healed and healthy. Some say that we should not bother God with little things, that He was bigger things to worry about, but God has shown me over and over that nothing is too small for His love and care. Often times He is just waiting for us to ask. There is nothing to small or to big for Him, if anything affects you, it affects Him, so seek, ask and praise Him today.

Have a blessed day!
