Nancy, NC

RECEIVED VIA EMAIL FROM DEBBIE ROLLINS ON 6/19/08:

"Please pray for my friend Nancy. To those of you whose pets are part of your family you will understand. During the last few months, she has had to have 2 of her horses and 1 of her dogs put down. You must understand, she does not take putting any animal down, lightly! That is only a last resort and believe me she will do everything she can to prevent that.
She is the most dedicated and compassionate person I have ever known.
The Lord knew exactly where to place each one of these animals. She loves them with all her heart and gives them all she has and more! There was another dog that had become like one of her own that actually lived in Nancy's home with her. She had been with Nancy for a long time. This dog also had to be put down during the past few months. And yesterday, a horse that she took care of on her farm and that she had also grown to love just like one of her own, had to be put down. This is 3 horses and two dogs in just a few months. You can imagine how devastating this is.
Please pray for strength in all ways - emotionally, mentally, physically and spiritually- and that the Holy Spirit will comfort her. She still has her farm with her other horses and pets to care for. And most of the time she does it all by herself. I don't even know if someone who has worked on a farm with animals would understand what she does every day- regardless of the weather, for literally hours every day. There are men who could not do what she does. She is the one God has placed these animals with and she is their caregiver. She doesn't get paid one penny for one minute of her work. She does it with a servant's heart. So I ask that you not only pray for strength but for a financial blessing, also - beyond her comprehension.
Also, please pray for the owner of the dog and the horse. His name is Tim."
