Answered Prayers by Velvet Nielsen

         I am always amazed at what a loving God we have who hears and answers our personal prayers.  Two years ago my husband and I were buying cattle at the sale barn in Belen.  It was critical to our loan officer for us to finish buying our cattle that week.  Our little seven year old girl had a bad kidney infection and we hated to drag her to the sale barn because it typically took all day to fill our truck. We prayed earnestly that we would finish in a timely manner so we could take our little girl home.  I was amazed that the cow/calf pairs came through early and we were able to fill our order by 9:30 a.m.
        Another time we were out of money with which to buy supplement feed. We were worrying about how this would affect our cows ability to breed back in a timely manner.  I prayed again to get some help.  I got up from my knees and found an old Livestock weekly magazine on the couch, as I was flipping through the pages I came to an article which gave me some critical information we needed to apply at that time to help us in our business.  I know God loves each of us and is wanting and waiting on us to ask for his divine help. I am so thankful that we can always pray to a loving heavenly father.
