Just in case you missed it on Sunday... here's the rest of the story:
Corrie and her sister Betsie did manage to "settle in" at this new concentration camp. They had prayer meetings in the back of the room every night. They were always very nervous about being caught by the guards, but it never seemed to happen. Each night, they had more and more women join their group. Each night, they got a bit louder. Corrie and her sister tried to keep everyone quiet, but it proved difficult. Everyone was so glad to have the chance to come and pray. They were worried about the guards patroling their barracks. They did not want the guards to stop the prayer meetings.
But, oddly enough, the gaurds never patrolled that room. The other rooms were thouroughly patrolled. But not the Ten Boom's barracks.
The reason?
They later found out that the gaurds never came by, because they were afraid of the fleas!
So, it turned out that there really was a good reason to be thankful for fleas!
I pray that God may show you the reasons that you can give thanks for the "fleas" in your life.

Powerful sermon which very effectively incorporated the TenBoom's fleas! Thank you for introducing us to Corrie and Betsy.
