An animal rescuer

I AM AN ANIMAL RESCUER


My job is to assist God's creatures
I was born with the need to fulfill their needs
I take in new family members without plan, thought, or selection
I have bought dog 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

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?
We may be master of the animals,
but the animals have mastered themselves
Something people still haven't learned

War and Abuse makes 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 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

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

In the game of life, I have already won

(I have to apologize, :o I don't know the author or where I found this. But it is touching IMO and thought of Gary aka catmandu
God Bless,
Lori Be...)

wow.

jenluckenbach, jenn_librarian, Anikaca77, doolittlekitty, L&M, kt_lvs_kitties...and Gary of course...

Rare and wonderful people.

I thought of Gary and the others, also. They are my heroes!!!:D

Yes, there are so many past, present and, hopefully, future. This is wonderful, thank you. :)

The hardest part is when you have to say good bye to a Creature of God who should have gotten a better break in life.

This is very touching.

Bless all those who rescue these precious animals and Gary, those pictures of Ebony Beau Tubster just brought on the tears. I am so sorry for your loss.

Yes, bless all of you who care for God's creatures.

My darn eyes are leaking again. I never met EBT, or got to pet or talk to him, but I loved him from afar:love::love: I hope he knows that.

That is beautiful. :)

That's beautiful.Thanks so much for sharing and God Bless all who help those both animals and people who are in need.
