The Lord watches over us

Psalm 127:1(NIV) 
Unless the LORD builds the house, 
the builders labor in vain. 
Unless the LORD watches over the city, 
the guards stand watch in vain.

Numbers 6:24-26(NIV) 
The Lord bless you and keep you;
the Lord make his face shine on you   
and be gracious to you;
the Lord turn his face toward you
and give you peace.

We give thanks to God, for His faithful protection to our house, over and over again and despite our carelessness in leaving the main gate open during numerous midnights till early morning and sometimes the main wooden door unlocked. But early this morning, the gate was closed, the doors all locked, the thief came inside the compound, the dogs were barking non-stop (as they would over strayed cats on the fence), he attacked 3 of our doors and destroyed 2 of our locks and damaged half of our main wooden door. He almost succeeded to get into the house. He hit with the iron rod 7 times. 

I have a habit to check the outside before I go up to sleep. Sometimes, I even open the door just to peek at outside.
