The Battle Belongs to the Lord

I meant to share this last night, but felt I had gotten a little long winded.

We have a very good friend who had the opportunity to travel to the Holy Lands recently.  One of the places she got to visit was the valley where David met Goliath.  The story is found in I Samuel 17 how David picked up 5 smooth stones to slay the giant Goliath.  Our friend brought back stones from that valley. She knew there would be people who she would come in contact with that needed a stone to help them on their journey, whatever it was.  This was several weeks before Roy's diagnosis but Pam thought of us when she heard Roy's diagnosis. It is a reminder of the story of David and Goliath.  So, we have one of the stones that Roy keeps in his pocket to use as an anchor and reminder that the battle belongs to the Lord.

Ofcourse, Roy being Roy did ask where the blood was????  I told him I felt it was probably one of the other 4 stones that David picked up and just dropped out of his bag after he slew Goliath....don't you agree???

God is in control and holding our hand.
