Maybe God doesn't care what we say we believe As long as we manage good works to achieve, Helping God's creatures and easing their pain Without selfish motive of heaven to gain. Author: Richard Clyde Call Save a Homeless Puppy, Rescue an Older Dog |
Joy without measure I know I would gain If I had the power to stop all the pain of millions of children and others in need, If I had a wand that could wave away greed. A wand to change man from his selfish bent to one who would give until his fortune is spent Feeding those hungry and suffering in pain without any thought of personal gain. But it's futile to rue one's powerless plight, Or dwell upon darkness and ignore the light of human kindness and compassion so true That strives to help a poor creature or two. Evangelists claim that it's faith that God wants, Good works can't save us from the Devil's haunts. But faith over works is hard to understand when all God needs is a helping hand. When compassion and love for all living things results in behavior devoid of all strings that tie action to promise of selfish reward, May that be the destiny we all work toward.

 Better to light a candle for one lost dog than to curse the darkness of man's indifference. Saving just one dog won't change the world but it surely will change the world for that one dog. Author: Richard Clyde Call Save a Homeless Puppy, Rescue an Older Dog |
 An evangelist was extolling God's great virtues, heaping fulsome praise and shouting hallelujah. He exhorted those around him to join in adulation and receive assurance of their heavenly salvation. He paid scant attention to the creature at his feet. It was just a homeless stray who came in off the street, thirsty for some water and seeking refuge from the heat. The evangelist was annoyed but kept on giving praise, showing devout devotion with a steady upward gaze. Suddenly he was startled to hear a divine voice say: First get the dog some water, and then you can pray. Author: Richard Clyde Call Save a Homeless Puppy, Rescue an Older Dog |
 A wealthy person may regret lost opportunities to aid and abet in easing the suffering of so many, failing to give much more than a penny. Author: Richard Clyde Call Save a Homeless Puppy, Rescue an Older Dog |
Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there, I do not sleep. I am the thousand winds that blow, I am the glints on fallen snow. I am the sunlight on golden grain, I am the autumn's gentle rain. When you awaken in the morning hush, I am that swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there, I did not die. Author: Unknown |
