A Memorable Day. A Praying Dog.

November 23, 2012

Coming soon! 

Pictures, stories (and even a video) of yesterday’s Thanksgiving Celebration with the men of Dare Challenge. For now though, here are a few photos of the Thanksgiving table.

And since the subject of Thanksgiving reminds me of the subject of prayer, I thought today would be a good day to include a few photos on that subject.

Steve usually goes to the church at 6 am every day to pray; his preference is to walk while he prays and the sanctuary is perfect for that. However, on his days off, he spends his prayer time at home, usually kneeling at the chair in our bedroom.

Well, Summer was very interested in this whole praying/kneeling process and wanted a closer look. So she got up on the chair beside Steve and from there, made her way onto his back.

“Mom?  Can you tell me what’s goin’ on here?”

“Oh.  He’s praying? Well, I guess I should be vewy, vewy quiet . . “

and do a little praying myself.”

It is certainly inspiring to have a dog who is so willing to help the pastor with his prayers!

    Mary, and thank YOU for your always encouraging words. We appreciate you!

    I was so struck by Steve’s posture in prayer. Too many of us don’t even get on our kness (not that God doesn’t listen to the whisper of a prayer in any form) but to see him prostate in prayer made me stop and think about my praying process. Thank you, Steve.

    P.S. Your table was so very lovely. And, Summer you the sweetest girl.

    Beautiful table scape Becky. I know those that were invited to your home were blessed beyond measure. God bless you for opening your home to them. Well, if summer was praying for some turkey, did she get some?

    • Becky says:

      Sharyn, yes, she got the teeny weeniest little bite of turkey. I guess once or twice a year won’t hurt and she certainly enjoyed it. Guess her prayers came true!

    You guys are awesome and I just wanted to share how thankful I am that you choose to share your life, right down to how you pray. It is something I am unfamiliar with, in the formal sense, so thank you Becky.

  5. Mrs. Pam says:

    oh, Summer, you are something else!
    Perhaps, you were praying for a little bite of turkey.

    I saw a pair of ridiculous polka dot pjs for doggies today in a catalog, and thought of you… (not that you are ridiculous looking)… but I imagine that those cute sweaters
    are more practical for the shivers.
    woof and love

    lovely thanksgiving table, btw.

      Mrs. Pam, I imagine little polka dot pj’s would be rather stunning our little Miss Summer; I’ll have to keep my eyes open for something like that! 🙂
