As we light the tree on Christmas eve, or watch as the last of the candles on the Menorah slowly go out...lets remember that we are ALL one brotherhood; that of the brotherhood of man. Treat each other kindly, as you would want yourself to be treated. Think before you speak, as the words you say may prompt someone to reach for that brass ring or turn away from their dreams. Keep in mind those that have less; if its a "doggy friend", bring them a bag or two of food or maybe volunteer to sit with their furry friends so that they can get a few moments respite. Stand up for those who have no one to speak for them, both animal AND human..remember that all life has value. We can entertain angels without ever realizing it and miracles DO happen, (right Pat?). And to make this dog related, please remember those who sit forgotten in the shelters. A visit from a caring person... a walk in the sunshine...a milkbone...perhaps a donation of sponsorship which would make that dog eminently more adoptable and may mean the difference between life and death. We at LHSH realize that the Administration of this list has been more than gracious over the last year by allowing us to post animals in need and our Rescue updates...and for that we will be eternally grateful. We pray for the day that these constant reminders are no longer needed and that there is a loving home waiting for every dog. Until that day, we will plod along and rejoice with every success...cry for every baby whose life ended way too early..and wait for this brotherhood of man to come together and care for the least of these... Wishing you all the Miracle of the season, Peace and harmony in your home and in your heart...
