Suffering . . .

Chinese fortune cookie quote received last night after dinner at Lee's on Thompson in Ventura . . .

"It is by those who have suffered that the world is most advanced."

Jesus said, "Blessed are those who suffer for doing what is right.  The kingdom of heaven belongs to them."  Matthew 5:10-12

MONKEY ADOPTS HOMELESS PUPPY

In Rode, India, locals were touched by the compassion of a monkey who had adopted a homeless puppy. Town locals thought it was bizarre at first, but the apparent love between the two animals was too much to deny. This just goes to show you that love knows no species. The monkey cares for the little puppy and keeps the little one close as if he were caring for his own baby.

It’s remarkable that a difference in species didn’t keep this monkey from becoming a responsible parent to a puppy who otherwise would not have had anyone to care for him. That just goes to show you that compassion has no limit!

May God bless the awesome, crazy and insane Internet crowd and Facebook friends that gathered on Thursday, January 7th at 10:30am making up a small compassionate but mighty "flash mob" delivering DRY clothing, shoes, shirts, jackets, blankets, love and hugs to the homeless in Ventura County. Soggy, soaked, chilly and cold the homeless gratefully hugged the warmth of new and fresh clothing to change into before the onset of the freezing cold nightfall.  May God bless all that delivered - Jaliy Vazquez, Maria Lopez, Melissa Padworski, Angela Bauhsla, Bryan Patino, Frank Grimaldo, Joe Bendot and Robert Camacho!  Enjoy the pictures.
