Thank You, Lord, for MLA: Doug Donaldson’s service to the people of Stikine.  Bless him as he works in Victoria; make him aware of those who genuinely need his help and enable him to contribute to their well-being.  Give him the strength and endurance he needs, and let him know that his efforts are appreciated.  Bless his family with health and wholeness we pray.
