On Thursday will dawn yet another Thanksgiving....and for  many of us across 
the country, it will mean the rush of baking the prerequisite apple pie, the 
scent of turkey wafting through the house, the arrival of family and guests who 
will gather at the table and reflect on yet another year. 
Some of us will dine alone, or maybe gather at a local restaurant....but EACH 
of us...no matter where we are...will not be able to quiet that little voice 
inside that reminds us to be grateful that we are here and able partake of all 
of the blessings this great Nation has to offer.
I am reminded of an email I received this morning, about a small child, living 
in poverty who through determination and faith,  was able to save .57 cents 
with the hopes that a Sunday school could be built so that no child would be 
left in the cold and unable to worship. On her passing, the money was found in 
her crumpled purse by the Pastor who had befriended her. To quote this email 
(as I could not put words to it any better than what I received);
  "When you are in 
                the city of Philadelphia, look up Temple Baptist 
                Church, with a seating capacity of 3,300 And be sure to visit 
Temple University, where thousands of students are 
                educated. Have a look, too, 
                at the Good Samaritan Hospital and at a Sunday School 
                building which houses hundreds of beautiful children, 
                built so that no child in the area will ever need to be left 
outside during Sunday school time."
All of this because of the dedication of one small child.....
The members of LHSH would like to take this opportunity to remind each of you 
that one voice in this world can make a difference...that the compassion you 
show to each other and to the dogs we all love so much CAN change the world. I 
am continually amazed at what we have all accomplished in the last year...so 
many wonderful dogs are living to see another dawn. Who knows what changes 
their presence may bring to those who have chosen to open their homes and 
hearts to an dog who was unwanted? To see the light in a childs eyes, as a 
loving GSD washes his face and helps him to connect to the outside world...or 
an elderly person who is able to once again feel the warmth of fur against 
their skin, bringing back a flood of memories from their youth and perhaps a 
dog that once shared their life...to hear the laughter of children as they 
delight in the antics of a puppy who only days before was facing a death we 
could not imagine....
So as Thursday dawns in your town....please keep a special place in your heart 
for all those who sit waiting....hoping....YOU may be their Last Hope. You CAN 
change their world and rewrite the story of their life. What better way to give 
Thanks? 
LHSH would like to wish everyone on this list a blessed Thanksgiving!! 
The Team from LHSH and the 260 German Shepherd Dogs who are alive thanks to 
you!!!!
