One evening I was going back from a supermarket. As I have approached my car, I noticed that some person came and stood beside me. He was the one that could be considered as a bum. It seemed that he had no car, no home and no job. I expected that he will ask me for money, but he did not do that, he only said: „Your car is very nice“.
After several moments of silence I have replied: „Thanks“, and then the inner voice told me: „Ask him if he needs help“. After a short hesitation I have asked him, if he needs any help. His respond was astonishing, I will never forget those simple three words that I heard from him: „Don‘t we all?”
It was a true discovery to me. I needed help. Although I had money and a place to sleep, but I recognized that I needed help too. Then I have opened my wallet and gave him enough money to get a meal and some shelter for a day.
Suddenly I understood that no matter how much money, achievements, luxury things do we have, we all need help. And on the other hand, no matter how poor you are, how many material problems you have, you still might offer your help to others, you still might be giving. Even it‘s just a nice word, you can give that and it can be priceless to other person.
Maybe that man was just a homeless stranger, but to me he was more than that. Maybe he was sent by the Highest Loving Power personally to me, to open my eyes, to show me that there is one thing, among all other values and achievements, which is very important and irreplaceable for each and every person. Actually, it is a true gift and it is called Giving.
Good

Almost everyone who works a 9 to 5 M-F work week, feels like this. I remember those days!
Some dogs (people too) are food oriented. Those make very good working dogs and service dogs. Our girls always remind Rbt when it is 5 pm and time for treats. They can tell time from one of our clocks.
Most dogs understand what you say, "Go rock the baby!" We tell Carly to go get Reba to come in and off she goes. Reba is hard of hearing and doesn't see very well anymore.
Some dogs are kind to other dogs or other animals and some don't play well with others. There are no bunnies or cats in our yard unless they are lightning fast, faster than Carly (most but not all squirrels and rabbits are faster).
Some dogs are afraid of their own shadow, even dogs have their weaknesses! None of our dogs like fireworks or thunder & lightning. After over 6 years with us, Carly still doesn't like the sounds from my iPhone or iPad when I get a message. In the evenings she runs to her crate that doesn't have a door on it but it is her safe place.
But one smile from my J Lo, and my heart melts! She can have a french fry or whatever she wants from me. Ok, all of our dogs! They are always there to welcome us back home when we open the door.
True love for each other, animal or human, is one of God's greatest gifts. My wish is that you have found that gift. Blessings & Hugs!
