Wednesday Report

*MIRACLES OF THE DAY*

1.] Probably the biggest miracle of the day would be that we were able to be out to the ranch by 9:00 this morning after another late night. All went well with Vic from Atco electric as we went over the location of all the power needed for the first phase of construction at the ranch. After watering a few of the trees that needed it, we were off to Nielburg and a day of meetings and visits with locals interested in helping with the ranch development.

2.] Had lunch with friends and had the opportunity to discuss many options in our construction options and many ways to save and improve the quality of our projects. I've never heard of concrete counter tops but are they ever a great idea and very inexpensive to build and very attractive and durable.

3.] Met with pastor Merv at the E Free Church and we were blessed to present the entire ranch presentation and how we can and will be able to partner to improve the options for our young adults in our communities. Giving them the opportunities they need to develop their God given gifts and strengths in a way that will build positive and productive adults excited about their futures.

4.] Stopped in and visited with Brian Graham and their family. We did a lot of work for them back in Caronport, where we met them and was great to be able to explain the plans of the ranch and the purpose it will serve in the community.

5.] Stopped and had a chance to share a bit with a few more local buisnesses an then headed on home.

6.] We made one more stop at the home of some friends and had a blessed visit with them as we usually do.

7.] Before heading home we stopped in at Barry and Brigitte's and had a bit of a visit before Barry heads into Edmonton tomorrow for his eye surgery, so please let's all keep Barry and Brigitte in our prayers, not only for tomorrows surgery but the next six to eight weeks could be a struggle for them as there are many things Barry can't do until his eye is healed.

8.] We were blessed with so many potential opportunities and gifts for the ranch today that it is such a blessing to walk and live out the plan God has for the ranch. We are so thankful to all who faithfully stand by us with their prayers and encouragement.

9.] Oh ya, we also found another barn that the people may want to donate but the moving could be a killer.

THE MESSAGE

Luke 12:29
"What I'm trying to do here is get you to relax, not be so preoccupied with getting so you can respond to God's giving. People who don't know God and the way he works fuss over these things, but you know both God and how he works. Steep yourself in God-reality, God-initiative, God-provisions. You'll find all your everyday human concerns will be met. Don't be afraid of missing out. You're my dearest friends! The Father wants to give you the very kingdom itself.

Daily need call:

We need a smaller farm tractor to pull around our water tank & trailer (shown above) to water the new trees, an older working tractor would do just fine and would bless the ranch immensely so if you or someone that you know, would have something like this around that you could donate to the ranch we would come and pick it up if needed. Thankyou and God Bless you all.
