Awakened by the sound of hoof prints

I was awakened in the middle of the night by thundering hoof prints that sounded as if they were circling the house. It was 3 a.m. It sounded like a bunch of galloping horses, right outside our bedroom. I knew right away what it was, at least I' m pretty sure--a herd of deer. I'm guessing it's the same bunch that have been meandering in front of our house the past week or two. I thought about getting up to watch them, but realized I would not be able to see anything in the dark. So I just lay there, listening to the group circle the house then take off. I checked for tracks this morning and sure enough, there they were. The snow is about a foot deep because of the recent storms. Several sets of fresh hoof prints on 3 sides of the house. Wish I had gotten up to have a look. Maybe it wasn't deer after all, maybe they were buffalo. After all, this is Montana, right. Ha ha!

Thank you so much for praying for my back, hip and leg this past week. The Lord has answered; the pain has subsided greatly. I still have to take baby steps when I walk outside; full strides get things to hurting right away. I'm sure I resemble a penguin as I'm walking down the sidewalk. It's not very flattering, but it works. I was relieved of my "housekeeping" duties for 4 days, and that helped alot. Please keep us in your prayers. And please let us know how we can pray for you.

Yesterday we had the privilege of speaking and fellowshipping at a church called Swan Chapel. It was about a 45 minute drive from where we live. It took a little longer to get there than would normally be the case, I'm sure, because the the blizzard we had to drive through to get there. The people were incredibly warm and hospitable. If we lived closer, I'd love to be a part of that church gathering on a regular basis. Don't you just love God's people!!! I sure do.
