The Wonders of God.. The Houston International Airport was as crowded as ever with people rushing to catch their flights. And then, in the middle of the crowd, Shadow, an experienced German Shepherd K9 started barking fetociously at a woman waiting in the long queue. It was quite an unprecedented action as she was 7 months pregnant and appeared to be terribly frightened by the dog’s reaction. Nevertheless, the dogs were rarely wrong and officers asked her to step forward. They conducted a thorough search of her belongings, but found nothing out of the ordinary on her. Yet, Shadow wouldn’t stop sniffing her and barking at her. The officers were confused and contemplated their next move. Should they let the woman go? She was heavily pregnant and the entire situation made her upset and uncomfortable. And then, just as they decided to let her go, Agent Grant remembered that Shadow was also trained as medical alert service dog. Rather than her being a smuggler or carrying a dangerous weapon, could there be something medically wrong with this woman? He wondered. Just to be sure, he explained to her that Shadow was a special dog and he would like her permission to call the emergency services to check on her. Although she hesitated at first, the woman eventually agreed. To everyone’s surprise, the medics discovered uterine rupture, which is a serious and rare childbirth complication where the muscle wall of the uterus tears under pressure. The woman was quickly rushed to the nearby hospital where she was operated and gave birth prematurely. Her baby was still tiny and placed in an incubator, but luckily, both he and his mother were fine. That day, Shadow saved two lives. His strong senses allowed him to detect that something wasn’t right with that woman’s child. Dogs have up to 300 million scent receptors and are able to detect chemicals or changes in body odor caused by diseases or other medical emergencies. A few days after the incident, Shadow and Agent Grant paid the woman a visit at the hospital where she and the staff gave an appreciative “thank you” to Shadow in a brightly lit hospital ward. Such are the immense wonders of God. A God who knew in advance and selected an animal to be man's best friend also equipped it with ability to detect when something is wrong medically within a human being. A God who equipped dogs with up to 300 million scent receptors so that they are able to detect chemicals or changes in body odor caused by diseases or other medical emergencies in a woman it has never seen before.. Something no machine with all its sensors and gadgets can do till date.. What a friend we have in Jesus.. All glory to his name.

Makena’s Dowry – The Price of a Brave Heart Origin: Kenya (Kikuyu people) Episode 1: The Weight of a Name In the village of Ndaro-ini, nestled among Kenya’s highlands, lived Makena, the only child of Mzee Baraka, the respected village elder. Makena’s mother had died at childbirth, and her father had raised her with the fierceness of a lion and the tenderness of a weaverbird. Unlike the other girls, she hunted, debated with elders, and often mediated conflicts with uncommon wisdom. By the time she turned 20, she was the pride of the village—beautiful, headstrong, and fearless. But Baraka, aging and mindful of his lineage, announced her hand in marriage at the annual harvest festival. To the village’s shock, he demanded twenty bulls, ten ivory bracelets, and land near the sacred fig tree as dowry. It was an outrageous request. Even chiefs’ daughters never commanded such a price. The villagers whispered that Baraka sought to price his daughter out of marriage. But Baraka had his reasons. He remembered a prophecy given at her birth: "The child born under the blood moon will carry a fire that may burn or build a kingdom." He feared for her. If she married weakly, she would be destroyed. Only a man of vision, courage, and wisdom could walk beside her. Days turned into weeks as suitors came and failed. Some scoffed at the price. Others tried to bargain. Makena rejected all who didn’t carry heart or purpose. Then came Kamau, a humble herder from a distant ridge. He arrived not with bulls or riches, but with a single white cow, a carved flute, and stories of helping unite his war-torn village. When questioned by the elders, he said, “I have not wealth in cattle, but I bring peace wherever I walk. Let me earn her hand through the trials of honor.” Baraka, intrigued, set three impossible tests for Kamau—one involving the cursed river, one the rogue leopard, and one, a question no man had yet answered. Makena watched from afar, heart caught between hope and dread. To be continued in Episode 2

The human body can withstand up to 45 units of pain. Yet, during childbirth, a woman can experience up to 57 units of pain. That's the equivalent of having 20 broken bones... all at the same time. Never tell a woman she can't do it. Remember that only she can dance with two hearts inside her. Only she has known how to breathe with four lungs. Only she has carried the weight of two worlds in her womb... and given birth to a new life. Don't you dare tell her she's not up to it. Because she was born to overcome the impossible. She can do everything.
