I saw something this afternoon that lifted my spirits...I was on my commute home from work...(same drive I do every day twice a day) and a dog crossed the road in front of me, and right behind her was her puppy. Of course, the puppy got scared and froze, and since there was a car coming the other way, I thought, OMG the puppy is going to get hit. (this is a southern, rural area...two lane country roads...mostly people don't stop for animals...other than me, and I stop for everything and even get out of the car and move turtles to safety)...anyway, the car coming the other way stops suddenly...doesn't even pull off the road, and a woman jumps out and rescues the puppy. I couldn't stop to see what else happened, or to thank her for what she did, cuz the pick-up behind me was impatient, but I said a prayer of thanksgiving for that woman. It did my heart such good to witness somone else caring about the "4-legged least of these"...thanks be to God.
