Goodnight dear friends and family. We hope that you enjoyed your weekend and that you are well rested and ready for the week ahead.
We have more prayers going out tonight, for one of the greatest spirits to ever walk this earth, Nelson Mandela. He remains in the hospital, in critical condition. We send our deepest love and comfort out to him in his suffering. We ask God to spare him any pain, in the name of all the goodness and the love that he has brought to our world. If not for his life, millions would still be oppressed. Countless lives that go on today, would have been lost.
Talk about a strong soul. A soul so filled with light, that almost two decades locked in a prison cell, could not break It. Nelson Mandela walked out of prison, a free man. Not only in body, but in mind. There is so much to learn from his example.
All around us, are broken people. People weighed down by regret and bitterness. People who cannot move ahead and who feel locked in and defined by the past. What they need, is hope. Without hope, they will all be lost. We pray for the broken ones. We pray for a day when they are freed from the prison of their own minds. We pray for their enlightenment. All people deserve hope. We are all equal in the eyes of God.
We continue on to pray for the millions of homeless animals, fighting every day just to survive. Too many of these defenseless angels are being euthanized and thrown out like garbage. Endless piles of beautiful babies, lining the trash bins of animal shelters. The love and devotion, annihilated in those bins, is insurmountable. This is an atrocity. And it’s happening every day to these precious animals.
Everyday is a perfect day to adopt a homeless animal. The shelters are filled with immeasurable love, just waiting to be given a home. Please don’t buy a pet from a pet store. The selling of pure bred animals at pet stores, promotes the survival of puppy mills, where are animals are being caged and exploited, bred over and over, and then murdered when they have “No more use”.
Please inform yourself on what occurs at puppy mills. I myself, had no real understanding of it and have bought a pet from a pet store. I had no idea of the cruelty taking place in order for me to buy a dog. I will never ever contribute to the suffering of those caged angels in puppy mills, ever again, after what I have learned.
If you have a love for a certain breed, there are many rescue organizations designated for specific breeds. So please don’t shop, only adopt. Millions of innocent animals are counting on you.
My precious Weezer was an adopted dog. If I had never gone to the shelter that day, I would have missed out on twenty years by the side of a living angel. What a gift she was to me. You too, can have that gift, any day, any time. It can be found so simply, in the heart of an animal who needs a home, and there are millions of them. You will save a life and you will be saved back.
No lives will go in vain. No pain will go unnoticed. Amen.
Love from,
Jessica Lee Smith,
For Sammy & Family
