The Power of Prayer

While the kids had "revised morning school", JP took Buddy for his walk. Through several different situations ( a dog without a lease freaking Buddy out, an older man whose dog broke its chain and then lunged at Buddy, the older man getting up to catch his dog, etc), Buddy slipped his collar and ran off. When Buddy gets out of his collar, it's bad. He will not, I mean will not come to you. The bike trail is off of a four lane busy highway divided by a median. JP calls me on the cell phone which I "accidently" left in the car last night. Now I believe it was more Providence than an accident. He says pray because Buddy slipped out of the collar and is now in the middle of this highway running back and forth and sometimes just standing there while cars and motorcycles are driving by him. We immediately got off the phone to pray. I prayed God would put his angels around Buddy and protect him. We went back to work and less than 5 minutes later, JP called again. Buddy had run back to the car, then ran off but eventually came back and jumped in. It was crazy. JP said Buddy was in the middle of this street and it was a miracle he wasn't hit. God answers prayers!
