AS WE FORGIVE THOSE WHO TRESPASS AGAINST US

The Lords prayer is such an incredibly powerful prayer and it came right from the mouth of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. This is a prayer that is known by most people who have ever been to church or have ever herd the Gospell. It is the most commonly recited prayer.

At my dad's funeral, years ago, one of his friends took me aside and asked me if I realized what the 3 basic principles were that our dad raised us by. To which I replied, I'm not sure what you mean. He proceeded to share with me those three principles and I probably recognized them once he told them to me. He told me that, number one, our dad believed that we should have one cooked and prepared meal a day, which was usually our lunch when we came home from school. He also believed that we should always have clean cloths to wear. And last but not least, he believed that each of his children should know the Lord's Prayer. Three very basic but very responsible foundational principles. Isn't that what Jesus came for? To feed us, clothe us and give us the word of God.

Every day, each day for many years Loretta Zaperozan, a neighbour from down the hill came to our house to do our loundry and cook a warm meal for us during the week. Each and every one of us knew the Lord's Prayer. 

In the Lord's Prayer, the verse that says "as we forgive those who trestpass against us", is such a powerful statement and so esential in our lives as we seek to live out our lives every day. 
     Jayson one of our trainees who spent a year at teen challenge just prior  to coming to the ranch and is now learning at the ranch to use his gifts and life skills,  would love to go home this Christmas to be with family but has no money for a ticket. If any of you would have some extra airmiles to help out Jayson that would be such a blessing. Jason needs about 3000 air miles. We are so blessed and grateful to each of you who pour into the ranch as we continue to add hope and a future to so many.
