Wednesday 's blessings and blessings....

The blessings of raising a family on listening to Adventures in Odyssey by Dr. James Dobson had to be a preparation for full time Kingdom work. As the adventures in odyssey team took our family on many adventures of our life time we learned and grew from it all. The ranch is such a positive adventure and we get more and more guests stopping to experience the presence of God at work and His blessings for all of those who are willing to learn and receive positive input into their lives.

Today I got a tex message from a friend who is a city bus driver telling how he has shared the daily work of God at the ranch and how the riders on the bus are excited as he daily shares what's happening. PTL.

Also a family friend Bill dropped in had a look around and has committed to helping us in whatever way he can.

Early this morning, Harvey, from Princess Auto stopped in with a load of supplies and a lot of encouragement as word about the ranch has hit their head office and that this is the type of facility they are pleased to support. They would like us to do a presentation for the top brass, in the near future. WOW how cool is that!

Our welder Marcel continues to move ahead on the concrete plant and he is so full of ideas, we are so blessed to have him out here, God sends the right people at just the right time. Go Figure!!!

If you have any time at all to help and share your skills, we would be so blessed but you would be amazed at how God would pour new life into you also.

Matthew 6:9-13 (King James Version)

⁹After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

¹⁰Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

¹¹Give us this day our daily bread.

¹²And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

¹³And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

Matthew 6:9-13 (New International Version)

⁹"This, then, is how you should pray:
" 'Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
¹⁰your kingdom come,
your will be done
on earth as it is in heaven.
¹¹Give us today our daily bread.
¹²Forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
¹³And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one. For yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.

Footnotes:

1. Matthew 6:13 Or from evil; some late manuscripts one, / for yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.

Matthew 6:9-13 (The Message)

^7-13"The world is full of so-called prayer warriors who are prayer-ignorant. They're full of formulas and programs and advice, peddling techniques for getting what you want from God. Don't fall for that nonsense. This is your Father you are dealing with, and he knows better than you what you need. With a God like this loving you, you can pray very simply. Like this:

Our Father in heaven,
Reveal who you are.
Set the world right;
Do what's best— as above, so below.
Keep us alive with three square meals.
Keep us forgiven with you and forgiving others.
Keep us safe from ourselves and the Devil.
You're in charge!
You can do anything you want!
You're ablaze in beauty!
Yes. Yes. Yes.
