I mean this sincerely: Concentrate on helping humans. Humans are more valuable in God's sight than animals. It's easier to help animals but it's the humans that have infinite worth in God's perspective.
I've started a new life for myself, within the last 4 years .. top to bottom and each way in between ... bringing my faith with me, always ... I've a new friend, I met her at church ... she's in 8th grade and has MS ... I taped pictures of my dog, a Saint Bernard, on her bedroom wall ... the first shows him scared as the dickens of a thunder storm about to come .... and another, with his tail up, nose too .... sniffing the air and waiting for the challenge of a storm brewing ... haunches set and ready for the ride ...
Beth says, each day she looks at those pictures and decides she wants her nose up ....
I've another friend, met at my new church ... who had a stroke ... and he comes to walk my Old Soul maybe once a week ... Old Soul naturally slows down for him ... even stopping to turn and look up as if to say, "You Okay?! I can wait, if you need me to."
Well ... I sound silly, I suppose. I was happy you replied .... I always put people first ... but mindful He gave us so many tools ....
Scientists have learned for decades through their work on animals.
God bless Barbaro for his contribution to the good of all humans and animals!!
STFU!!! You sanctimonious twits who yammer on about God -- as though you just had lunch with Him -- make me sick. To put this in terms even someone like you might grasp, the same God you presume to speak for made human beings with the capacity to feel compassion and love, not just for our own kind, but for the other creatures He made to share this planet with us.
Matthew 6:1 -- “Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven."
