Rio and Rambo

As we prepare for our permanent move to the States, selling the dogs was one of our biggest concerns. But with our God, we need have no fear. We had a couple people come and look at them, and they even said they were going to buy- but they didn't come to pay when they said they would. Then, after our morning prayer- with a special request about a good home for the dogs soon- a man called for us from the gate. Jayakar went out and talked with him. Turns out one of our neighbors wanted to know how much we were asking for the dogs.
Within a short time we were visited by the family. They decided to take them within moments, having seen the dogs behavior over the past months as we walked and played with them. What an answer to prayer! I can't tell you how concerned I've been that they would end up in a cage all their lives, or used for wholesale breeding. But instead God sent us a well-to-do family with a girl that has wanted a Rottweiler for a long time, and my dogs will be pampered pets! The family wanted to take them both so they could continue to be companions for each other. I couldn't ask for a more ideal situation- and it's ALL from the Lord. Within half-an-hour of that morning prayer, the dogs were sold to the perfect family situation and we had the cash in hand. Receiving the money like that was also a SHOCKING thing. God is SOOOO good.
