"I believe that if an angel were to wing his way from earth up to Heaven, and were to say that there was one poor, ragged boy, without father or mother, with no one to care for him and teach him the way of life; and if God were to ask who among them were willing to come down to this earth and live here for fifty years and lead that one to Jesus Christ, every angel in Heaven would volunteer to go. Even Gabriel, who stands in the presence of the Almighty, would say, 'Let me leave my high and lofty position, and let me have the luxury of leading one soul to Jesus Christ.' There is no greater honor than to be the instrument in God's hands of leading one person out of the kingdom of Satan into the glorious light of Heaven."--Dwight L. Moody

This is the quote that is on the blog of our precious friends the Philpotts. They are at this very moment on a mission trip. Yesterday they had a very scary experience but praise God their angels were by their side. This gives me a perfect place to start my happy reasons!

Happy For A Reason Reasons:

1.       My friends, the Philpott family.

2.      Modern technologies, that make it possible to receive news and messages from friends around the globe!

3.      Angels who were with the Philpott family, during a very scary and difficult time.

4.      Answers to prayers for the safe return of the Philpott family to the orphanage.

5.      Another answer to prayer for the safety of someone dear to my heart!

If you’d like to follow the Philpott family on their mission trip here is their blog site. Please keep them in your prayers!
