Goodnight dear ones. We hope you had a great Monday and that your week is off to a positive start. Each day of the week we are given new opportunities to make an impact on the world around us for the better. Lets make each opportunity count. In life you meet all kinds of people from all different backgrounds. Some people around us make us smile and always leave us feeling happy after an encounter with them. Then there are some people that appear so unhappy when you see them and are very unpleasant to be around. Always be true to yourself when dealing with all kinds of people. Never let an unpleasant person make you doubt your own behavior. Do what you know is right in your heart, no matter which type of person you are faced with. It is never wrong to be kind to another person. If you find that being around certain people is harmful to you in any way, spiritually or physically, do your best to avoid that person and separate yourself from that environment as much as you can. You can be kind and at the same time distance yourself from someone toxic. There is no need to hurt that person in return. It won’t make you feel better and it will turn you into something that you are not. Continue on your path of what you know to be just. Always treat others the way that you would want to be treated. If they are toxic, get as far away from them as possible and stay away. Staying around a toxic person for an extended period of time can leave permanent emotional scars and damage your sense of self worth. You are too good for that. Never let anyone do that to you even if that person is a member of your family. One of the most important lessons in this life is learning to walk away from something that is not good for you. It can be a very difficult thing to do but nonetheless very necessary.

Prayers are going out tonight for our dear friend, Cindy Kolis and her precious fur baby, Molly. Cindy was with Molly today as she crossed the rainbow bridge into heaven. Understandably, this an unbearably painful day for Cindy but helping Molly cross the bridge was the most selfless thing that she could do for her baby. It was the ultimate act of love. Molly is now an angel and no longer has any pain. She left this world deeply loved and that love is the greatest gift that you can give to an animal.

Molly was 8 years old when Cindy adopted her from the ASPCA. She was very afraid, very thin and needed 8 teeth extracted. After some time, Cindy found out that Molly was also in kidney failure. Cindy and her veterinarian always suspected that Molly had been abused during her life before Cindy rescued her. They suspected that her former owners had abandoned her when she became ill from lack of care. Cindy loves and treasures Molly with all of her heart. In her five years with Molly, Cindy showered her with love and gentleness. She made sure that Molly had the best of everything and Molly became her “little shadow.”

Cindy is heartbroken tonight and we ask for prayers for her comfort. Molly will be greatly missed by her family, until they meet again. In Cindy’s own words, “It has been my honor and privilege to be her Mommy for 5 years.” We are sending you love tonight, Cindy. We know how grateful Molly is to you for the love that you gave her. We know how much she loves you. Please know that the five years of love and devotion she received from you was enough to make her forget all of the pain that she lived before she was rescued by you. She will always be your baby. God bless Molly and God bless Cindy.

More prayers for another one of our very special friends, Elizabeth Kantor Lane and her baby Sophie. Sophie crossed over the rainbow bridge into heaven and gained her angel wings the day before yesterday. She was 15 years old. Sophie had a very full and wonderful life. She was a very special cat. She was loving and “outspoken” and very maternal to her fur brothers and sisters. She always made sure that they were taken care of just like a Mommy.

Sophie is, and always will be a very special member of Elizabeth’s family. She is deeply loved and will be forever missed. Until they meet again, in a world that holds beauty that is beyond description. We pray for comfort for Elizabeth, at this very painful time. We send her love. God bless Sophie, always, and God bless Elizabeth.

Small changes in our lifestyle; our diet, our wardrobe and the products that we use, can mean the difference between life and death, for millions and millions of animals. Even if we start with baby steps, we are making a difference to these defenseless angels. Let us do our very best, to save as many lives as possible. They are counting on us.

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

Love from,
Jessica Lee Smith,
For Sammy & Family
