An 'underdog'


















Good Afternoon, or whatever is the best greeting to you, in your part of the world.

Have you ever been an 'underdog?' If so, more than likely, you will have more empathy for those that are 'underdogs.' Alan and I have been / are also a part of a mix of 'underdogs.' However, we have a dear friend, who has been compromised most severely. Issues concerning 'Human rights', unfair treatment - ie unethical eviction, and a 'slanted' municipal council, to boot. To add further insult to injury, our friend, who has a 'Person With Disability' status, has been thrown unnecessarily into a depressing / stressful hardship situation.

Apart from our own 'trials and tribulations', we are in support of our friend's sad plight.

Also, with the upsetting news about our friend, I was tossing and turning during the night, and ended up being 'Guided' to read Psalm 138 (A Psalm of David) - 'Thanksgiving for the Lord's Favor.' I recommend reading all of the Psalms; but here is a wonderful tidbit excerpt from Psalm 138: 7 & 8, which really encouraged me to continue on 'with the good fight.'
"Though I walk in the midst of trouble, Thou wilt revive me; Thou will stretch forth Thy hand against the wrath of my enemies, and Thy right hand will save me.
The Lord will accomplish what concerns me; Thy lovingkindness, O Lord, is everlasting; Do not forsake the works of Thy hands".

We have two potential offers; so we are also working along those lines. Eventhough we would love to continue living here, it is best to sell our home. We have our business and with the financial melt down etc, we have been included in the 'perfect storm' scenario. That bittid being said, we are moving forward; and Trusting and Knowing that He has a better Plan for Alan and I. (He has all our best interests at heart for each and every one of us). The thought of moving is rather scary (a lot of stuff built up over the years etc); however, we will rent for a year (have not found a place yet) and this will give us the relief we need. ie. Rebuilding our business.

It is a beautiful summer day; and we are Thankful for all our Blessings. Have to go for now. The above photo image is from the movie about an 'underdog.'

Peace and God Bless.
