Dear Canaan Walk Neighborhood,    I pray God’sblessings on all who are dealing with the effects and consequences of theCOVID-19 VIRUS. Together, we are facing an unprecedented situation and anunpredictable time.  “God is faithful, inthat God promised never to leave us, nor to forsake us” (Hebrew 13:5).     In addition, I askthat we be reminded to treat others, the way that we want to be treated. Repeatedly,neighbors while walking their pets, are walking on others lawns, and allowingtheir pets to release themselves, on neighbors’ lawns. I was surprised when aneighbor, while walking their dog, allowed their dog to release itself at ourmailbox.  Please refrain from allowingyour pets to poop on other people’s property, and walking on their lawns.  I am aware that the poop is picked up, but itstill leaves a residue. It is unsanitary and disrespectful, especially at atime when our families are practicing cleanliness, safety, and socialdistancing.      And remember, during this difficult period, “Tobe strong and Courageous” (Deut 31:6). “God has not given us a spirit of fear,but of power, of love, and of a sound mind” (2 Timothy 1:7).   Praying for your continued strength and safety!
