Condemnation - no not condemn the nation - but condemnation. A very hurtful tool used all too frequently, particularly among family and people who know each other well. We condemn for lifestyle, for occupation, for priorities, and for beliefs. The thought "Can't we all just get along?" comes to mind.
Lately, I have picked back up my torch of dog rescue. I love animals. It is a shame what humans do to them. It is horrifying the number of animals that are euthanized DAILY. Numbers, I should have brought my numbers to the board and I forgot. Maybe I will do a post on that one day. Why should animals have to suffer for the ignorance of humans? Spay and neuter your pets please. If you cannot care for your pets find them a responsible loving home. Don't take them to the shelter and don't dump them on the road. When I was growing up I saw horrifying things happen to animals. A good majority of my family are not animal people so I get to benefit from this kind of condemnation. It just so happens I have always been a nonconformist so for the most part I really don't care what people think, only what God thinks.
When I analyze all the animals I've helped and the ones I am currently helping I can take 2 roads. One is "Look at all the money, time, and space you've spent that could have been used elsewhere" The other is "Look at all the good you have done for animals and people" We recently had a Boston Terrier come through. When I brought her home the Lord said "You do not need her" This was His way of preventing me from becoming attached. He then said "She needs you." 2 weeks into our journey with Lily she found people who knew a person who really, really needed her. She now lives in a wonderful, loving home meant for her.
Often, when we do things, it is not or should not be, for ourselves. You never know how you can help someone through something as meaningful and easy as helping an animal. Don't condemn animal rescuers and lovers, help them. Donate your time, money, and prayers to them. They would help you if you needed it. Return the favor! Don't condemn those who do it right and help those who don't.
