REACH OUT

_________________________


Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 (NRSV)

Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. For if they fall, one will lift up the other; but woe to one who is alone and falls and does not have another to help. Again, if two lie together, they keep warm; but how can one keep warm alone? And though one might prevail against another, two will withstand one. A threefold cord is not quickly broken.

The psalmist wrote, "My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me."

-- Psalm 63:8 (NRSV)

_________________________

OKAY Daniel, let's go." I extended my arm, and my little brother reached out and took my hand. I looked both ways down the street and waited for a clearing. As we crossed the street, I told Daniel not to cross any street without first taking my hand so that I could watch over him. He smiled and looked at me with one of those six-year-old "I wonder why" looks.

Regardless of where we were going -- shopping, crossing the street, or just walking around -- Daniel always reached out for my hand. Usually he would reach out first, and out of habit I would extend my arm and find him latching on to my hand. Holding my hand was something that seemed to make Daniel feel secure and special. He knew that my hand would always be there for him to hold, no matter where we were.

When we need reassurance, we want someone to extend a hand for us to latch on to, whether it is a family member or a close friend. There is another hand we can reach for in hard times -- God's hand. God guides us in the bad times and in the good times. All we have to do is reach out.


Prayer: Faithful God, thank you for your love and reassurance as we
place our lives into your hands. Amen.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
Sometimes we are God's hand.

-- Carlos Gauna (Oklahoma, U.S.A.)

PRAYER FOCUS: Siblings

Frequently Asked Questions About Equine Parasitism And Their Answers..


Part 6..


Q. What can horse owners do to find out if their horse has parasites?


A. Some horse owners and their veterinarians rely on fecal egg count tests to determine if horses are infected with internal parasites. A widely used but inconclusive technique, the fecal test includes counting the number of parasite eggs present in a small sample of horse manure. While fecal examination can help identify the types of parasites, it doesn't detect all types of worms. In addition, this test only tells you if egg-laying parasites are present in the intestinal tract at the time of the test. It gives no indication about migrating parasites, immature parasites or encysted parasites. A negative, or zero, fecal egg count doesn't rule out the presence of parasites—it only indicates there are no adult worms laying eggs in the horse's intestines.
