It has become a normal part of our lives to hear gun fire. Usually it is a bit of a distance away, and although we often comment, "Did you hear that?" we are rarely bothered by it. But over the past week, we have heard more than normal and it has been right in our neighbourhood.
Just a few minutes ago, as we were finishing lunch, we heard some yelling and then numerous shots right outside our house. Rocky looked outside to see the police chasing some robbers down the lane. Praise the Lord, they caught them. Our neighbours have been "arming up" to show a sign of force to those thinking our area is a good spot to target. And because of the recent increased activity, the police are watching our lane.
We are so thankful that God has placed BIG ANGELS (Rocky's words) around our home. We have a cement wall out front, but only a small wire fence out back along a walking path. We know that if someone would want to do us harm, they could. We also know, although, that God has us here for a purpose and that we can trust Him with our lives. This floods us with peace...and with confidence. We are His!
