TODAY,
I MADE A DIFFERENCE I'll never bring about world peace. I won't single handedly save the rain forest. I'm not a brain surgeon and I'll never transplant an organ to save a life. I don't have the ear of a powerful politician or world power. I cannot end world hunger. I'm not a celebrity, and God knows I'm not glamorous! I'm not looked up to my millions around the world. Very few people even recognize my name. I will never win the Nobel Prize. I'll never save the rain forest or end global warming. There are a lot of things that I'll never do or become. But today I saved a dog! It was a small, scared, bundle of flesh and bones that was dropped off in a shelter by unfeeling people that did not care what happened to it. By those who were responsible for it even having existence in the first place. I found it a home. It now has contentment and an abundance of love. A warm place to sleep and plenty to eat. Two little children have a warm new friend who will give them unquestioning devotion and teach them about responsibility and love. A wife and mother has a new spirit to nurture and care for. A husband and father has a companion to sit at his feet at the end of a hard day of work and help him relax and enjoy life. And a sense of security, that when he is gone all day at work, that there is a protector and guardian in his home to keep watch over his family. No, I'm not a rocket scientist. But today, I made a difference! A
RESCUER'S CREED I shall be a believer of all that is good in man and of all that is deserving in animals. I shall plead for their lives, campaign for their safety and uphold their right to a natural death. I shall seek out the injured and the maimed, the unloved, and the abandoned and tend to them in their last days. I shall not forget their place in the hierarchy of life, nor that we walk in each other's paths. I shall bear witness to the wonder they bring into our lives and to the beauty they bestow upon our souls. I shall renew their spirits when they are waning, bind their wounds when they bleed, cradle them in my arms when they whimper, and comfort them when they mourn. I shall be near them in their hour of greatest need, a companion and friend when the time has come. I shall watch over them and console them and ask that the angels gather them in their arms. From the creatures of the earth, I shall learn the fruits of compassion and undying love, and I shall care for the beloved of God. In their company, I shall indeed be blessed. |
