A Christian woman on this site sent me money to help a family she didn't even know. I just want to say thank you to my friend from Germany. She helped me be able to feed Ernies dogs! We struggle every month but we kept feeding Ernies dogs because he lost his house to fire. I wrote a discussion about his house fire and this friend from my lot sent me enough money to feed his dogs for awhile. I am thankful because it really did help. You know who you are and this is just to say thank God for special people like you in this world that worry about people God will bless you for this kindness!

What a great gesture for the welfare of the doggies. So how are the dogs doing now? How many dogs? And how is Ernie? I don't remember the initial post about the fire and everything.
Thank you to the fine friend who donated for the dogs. It is so heart warming to know there are still people like you in the world today. God bless you.

Don't you think the Humane Society or some sort of rescue group should be notified about the dogs so they can be cared for properly? You all going by and feeding them is not giving them the stimulus and interaction they need with humans to remain tame. I think you should get them more help and attention than you're able to give them.

Hi Yoyo. Haven't seen Ernie since it happend. http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/2532690.aspx that is the link to the original discussion I started. There are 3 dogs two big ones and one that is a small dog. We call the small dog peanut he comes running when he hears our truck coming down the road. They look half starved. We have been feeding these dogs off and on for years because they have left them alone for months at a time. Never see anyone out in the yard. Haven't been able to find out what happened to cause the fire. Don't know where Ernie and his mother is know both of them did survive the fire. Ernies mothers sister said that they were outside when it happened. We didn't know if they had been in the house or outside, was worried because a day or so before we seen their home gone it had been a pretty bad storm here and it was thundering and lightning, we didn't know if it had been hit by lightning or Ernies wiring had gone wrong. Neither of them can see too good. But with my friends help we were able to buy some extra dog food and it isn't that far out of our way so we stop and make sure they have food to eat everyday.

Hi. free_man. That is very sweet and nice of this member! It is wonderful to know that there are kindhearted people in this world that care about others. God will bless this person because they have done this from the bottom of their heart. Once I had a myLot member that saw me stressed out and struggling and she gave me some money too. I was shocked, because I was not expecting this at all. It feels really good whenever someone can do something for you that you really need. You deserve to be blessed this way! I hope that Ernies dogs are doing fine and I know that these dogs are grateful to be able to have enough of food to eat too. I did not see your discussion about the house fire, but I am sorry to hear about this. Thank you for acknowledging your blessing to us all. I am sure that this member has really appreciated your thankfulness!

Hi Cream. She is a blessing to those dogs I didn't know how I was going to be able to take care of them. I was sure that Ernie wouldn't be back till he could have another trailer brought in and they are really poor people too. They have land and horses but they live on a fixed income just like we do. Thanks for sharing it is nice to know that God gave a stranger the mindset to offer to help.

Hi Abbey. I didn't ask anyone on here for help but God opened her heart up to help a stranger and God will bless her for this good deed she did for a stranger across the world from her. My husband and I sat down and prayed with tears in our eyes thanking God for this angel sent by God to help.

What a kind act! There are very few people who will help others. In this world if you find a wallet and know the owner you might end up pocketing it. TO help someone you dont know is very klind. How we wish for more people with a kind heart. Hope the goodwill is repayed kindly.

Hi JamieHenriques and welcome to my lot. I was surprised by her gift but not that she did it without thought. She has a true Christian heart. I was blessed by her Christian act, I was blessed because I could make sure that Ernies dogs got fed another month for her Christian act. It took a leap of Faith by her to give to a stranger across the world from her. I pray that one day I will be able to meet this kind woman face to face. I hope that this will open up the hearts of many to help their neighbors and family while they still can. I hope this will open up more Christian acts. There is so many people that are in this world that don't even open their eyes to what is going on around them. And that wasn't the case as I was growing up and still a policy of mine. I like knowing what is going on around me and help all that I can even if it is not more then a smile a kind word a gesture of kindness covers a multitude of sins. God is a great loving God. And HE has blessed me all my life and HE blessed me by having such a kind friend in my life.

Hi Tiffnkeat. I want to encourage others to thank God for all their blessings daily. God opened up this womans heart to help a friend. And I thank God for that blessing. God helps those that help themselves in this life. It is good to know there are good Christians in this world.

Hi Sjvg and welcome to my lot. I am like you can barley make it from months beginning to months end. Couldn't donate money either but give what I can my time and food that I have to these dogs. I am blessed by knowing this woman she gave us what she could afford and I didn't ask for anything. But God has always blessed us this way. I thank God for her kindness and so does the saint Bernard the German shepherd and little peanut.

What a beautiful thing to do for someone who she didn't even know. That is definitely one of God's Angels working like he wishes we all could. Working to help others in need. This family has been blessed and now the person who gave this money will also be bless by her good will. I surely hope the family is doing better real soon. God Bless you also for helping out with the dogs. You too will be continuely blessed by God.

Hi Lelin. Haven't seen either of them since they lost their home. Have heard from the sister of Ernies mom. Don't know where they are so we brought dog food for the dogs don't even know if the horses are being fed but they have a lot of pasture to eat on. The little dog we call him peanut comes running down the road to meet us when he hears us coming he knows we will stop and feed him. The two bigger dogs will try to take his food but we stand there while he gets his share. They all seem like they are losing weight. Thank God for my guardian angel on here that has helped us feed these dogs. God will bless her.

Hi Ebuscat. Thak God for all HIS help in this situation. Gods name is YHVH not Jehovah Psalms 37 in the original manuscripts locks in Gods name as YHVH. Don't take my word for it go and listen to the teacher of Gods word that we listen too and you might learn the real name of God and Jesus.
