CNN: Animal shelters getting overcrowded, economy forces people to make tough choices
Posted by rockfrompelt on November 22, 2008
BIBLE — GENESIS 1:26: Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”
God’s first purposes for man were to care for the earth, and all the animals in it.
Animals shelters across America are getting crowded. People trying to trim back on budgets are being forced to get rid of their pets.
I encourage everyone to pray about how they manage their budgets over these next couple years. And pray about how you give, if you are financially fortunate enough to have some extra money to give. If you have extra money, and are looking for a pet, then I encourage you to consider going to your local animal shelter.
Whether you give money to a food shelter, adopt a pet from an animal shelter, or give time to volunteer… pray, and ask for guidance. Now is not the time for people to shrink back… it it time for people to come together.

For faith is believing in things that we cannot see. Now we must believe that what we have prayed for will soon manifest in our lives, for by faith we will truly receive.
Yet some people say, “ but it’s not easy and you don’t know what I am going through,” well, that is true, but it still doesn’t change the fact that Jesus said, “ All things are possible to them that believe,” and we must live by faith.
It is worth hoping and believing for things in our lives to change, it really does not matter what people say, or what we feel, for God said, “For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God”. {1 Corinthians 3 v 19}. cornishevangelist. wordpress.com.

Very well said.
Faith is strengthened every day… but people quickly forget what God has “already brought them through.”
