The most amazing thing happened tonight. It happened with my friend on our way to pick up my car. We were on country roads when we saw a dead fox in the middle of our lane. It was a smaller fox, probably just out on it's own. We slowed down, and actually we back up to see it again. Then we decided to help move our little buddy off the road. Yep, that's right. We decided to move the dead fox. As we opened our car doors he pulled his head up...you could almost see the pain in his eyes as he tried to lift himself to safety. However a car had hit his back legs, and they seemed broken. My friend grabbed a blanket from the trunk of her car, and she gently wrapped it around the fox, slowly lifting him up, and tenderly placing him in the grass beside the road. The next moment was greater than the previous as we stopped, laid hands on this fox, and prayed for him. It was the most amazing moment, b/c if you think about it -- that moment was once in a lifetime. To pray for the healing of a fox...of a wounded soul. However we DO have opportunities to pray over the wounded. The world surrounding us is filled with wounded souls. Their legs are broken, disabling them from walking the way they ought. They struggle to keep their heads afloat, and yet we rarely pull over to carry them to a safe place where we can pray for their healing. Next time you find yourself near a wounded soul, take the time to care for it. You will feel the exhiliration only the Spirit can give, and may you be reminded of God's healing power for all of His wounded children....even his small foxes. : ) As you breathe today, worship God and glorify Him with your actions toward the wounded.
