I am an Animal Rescuer- author Unknown

[size=+1]I am an Animal Rescuer[/size]

My job is to assist God's creatures
I was born with the drive to fulfill their needs
I take in helpless, unwanted, homeless creatures
without planning or selection
I have bought cat food with my last dime
I have patted a mangy head with a bare hand
I have hugged someone vicious and afraid
I have fallen in love a thousand times
And I have cried into the fur of a lifeless body
too many times to count
I have Animal Friends and friends who have animal
friends
I don't often use the word "pet"
I notice those lost at the road side
And my heart aches
I will hand raise a field mouse
And make friends with a vulture
I know of no creature unworthy of my time
I want to live forever if there aren't animals in
Heaven
But I believe there are
Why would God make something so perfect and leave
it behind
Some may think we are master of the animals
But the animals have mastered themselves
Something people still haven't learned
War and abuse make me hurt for the world
But a rescue that makes the news gives me hope for
mankind
We are a quiet but determined army
And we are making a difference every day
There is nothing more necessary than warming an
orphan
nothing more rewarding than saving a life
No higher recognition than watching them thrive
There is no greater joy than seeing a baby play
who only days ago, was too weak to eat
By the love of those who I've been privileged to
rescue
I have been rescued
I know what true unconditional love really is
for I've seen it shining in the eyes of so many
Grateful for so little
I am an Animal Rescuer
My work is never done
My home is never quiet
My wallet is always empty
But my heart is always full

OMG Cobber. So very, very true.

That is just perfect.

So true

Ahh, that was great

That was so lovely!

Once upon a time it was usual for people to buy relics of saints to buy peace for themselves. To shorten the time for their immortal souls in the Purgatory and to get them quicker to Paradise.

I dont know if this buying of relics helped any. Especielly as most of the relics were false. And many of the sellers were false too.

I do believe sincerely helping stray cats like this Animal Rescuer is at least as good way for saving your immortal soul as buing relics. Better, because this help to those Gods creatures is real.

Of course, also to help humans in need is too an excellent way to help your immortal soul. Even if you DID sinned before...

This is what I do believe.
