Goodnight dear ones. We hope that you enjoyed your weekend and made some new and unforgettable memories with your friends and family. Family doesn’t always have to be “blood.” Family can be anyone that has built a home in your heart. Being animal lovers, I think that we all understand this. Our pets are our family also.

I want to say a special prayer for the elderly pets out there. There are too many loving and devoted companions that have been discarded and need homes. These precious animals sit in shelters watching people pass them by, only to take home puppies or very young dogs. This has to be such a painful and hopeless feeling for them. Day after day, night after night, in a cage. In most cases, these angels are euthanized because they are considered “less adoptable.” What a devastating thought for these poor babies. They deserve love too. They need it and they are counting on us. We pray for these broken hearted animals. We pray that more people step up to adopt them.

It seems that we need more love for the elderly in general, not just animals, but also people. I’ve seen so many cases of a total disregard of the elderly. Never forget that the elderly were once the ones taking care of us when we couldn’t care for ourselves. Why not do the same for them when they come to need us in return? It is the right thing to do. It is with gratitude that we should do this.

We can learn so much from the elderly. We can learn wisdom that is truly priceless. When a living being feels forgotten, discarded and dismissed it can do more than break their heart, it can kill them. Not one soul, should ever be made to feel this way. Without hope there is no life, so value and treasure the elderly. These are the veterans of life. God bless them and watch over them always.

Special prayers being sent out tonight for our very special friend, Maryann and her precious baby girl “AJ”. AJ wasn’t eating very well last week after she was diagnosed with Bronchitis. She was also vomiting, which Maryann thought may have been from the antibiotics. She was admitted to the hospital after Maryann noticed what looked like blood in her urine. Thank God, the vet confirmed that it was not blood but the levels on her kidneys were off and her blood pressure was elevated. She had to stay in the hospital for treatment. Needless to say, Maryann was understandably worried.

We are so happy to hear that after the IV treatment, AJ was able to come home today. Her numbers have come back to “her” normal levels again. She was also given a new heart medicine but her appetite is coming back slowly. She is now happily resting with her other four legged brothers and sisters. God bless AJ. We pray that she is restored to perfect health. We pray for Maryann as well, because we know how scary it is when your little one is sick. We love you Maryann . Sending love and healing thoughts, for you and AJ.

Please remember, small changes in our own lifestyles, can mean the difference between life and death, to soo many of these precious angels. Lets do our very best, to save as many lives as we can.

No lives will go in vain. No pain will go unnoticed. Amen.

Love from,
Jessica Lee Smith,
For Sammy & Family
