Miracles



















Today, I would like to encourage you to visit my other blog. It is written in the voice of my beloved Alaskan Malamute, Sitka. He is my baby. Yes, I know babies do not normally weigh 125 pounds, but this one does.

Some of you know my husband and I have therapy dogs. We take them into hospitals, nursing homes, and other facilities. We do a variety of things from encouraging a stroke patient to try and walk, encourage patients with terminal disease, and much, much more.

Last night we witnessed not one, but two miracles. Over the past year or so we have been visiting Central State Psychiatric Hospital, Petersburg, Virginia. We are the only "outside" therapy dogs ever to be allowed into their facility. Time and time again we have witnessed dramatic change in the patients, but last night was beyond what we could have asked or imagined.

Doug and I chose this ministry because there is such a tremendous need. Please jump over to Sitka's blog: All GODS CREATURES and read about our adventure. If you have time look back into the archived posts and read about other adventures we have experienced. Sitka would love for you to join and follow him. He loves "everyone."

Thank you for patiently allowing me to break from the norm on this blog and share a little about the ministry Doug and I are passionate about.

Amazed by HIS grace,

Andrea

Wedding


Lauren and Joe with Pastor Joe as he reads from Ruth.
















Savannah and Nathaniel (ring barrior and flower girl). They are instant friends!











The wedding was quite a success. GOD was at work at every turn. He is in complete control. He has once again filled our lives with many miracles and we praise HIM on this Lord's day.

Doug and I thank you for your prayers and support. We are greatful to have "God" family who will storm the heavens with us.

"....every detail in our lives of love for God is worked into something good." Romans 8:28 The Message

Blessing and a heart full of love,

Andrea, Doug and The Perdue Zoo

*I will share more of GODs love through our wedding journey in the coming days and weeks. Please be patient with me. I will be busy cleaning the facility where the reception was held the next few days and spending time with out of town family and friends. I love you all and can hardly wait to share the beauty of GOD's gift to us with each of you.
