Seeking the Lost

Pennie of Why Rush? is on her way, along with other veterinary medical professionals, to Mississippi. Pennie is a talented vet tech and is volunteering to help with the animal rescue missions. She's hoping to blog post her experiences. Everyone please join together with me in wishing Pennie a safe and very successful mission. My thoughts and prayers are with her. May she bring rescue, comfort, and peace to those whose lives she touches.

A Prayer for Animals

By Albert Schweitzer

Hear our humble prayer, O God,

for our friends the animals,

especially for animals who are suffering;

for any that are hunted or lost

or deserted or frightened or hungry;

for all that must be put to sleep.

We entreat for them all

Thy mercy and pity,

and for those who deal with them

we ask a heart of compassion

and gentle hands and kindly words.

Make us be true friends to animals

and so to share

the blessings of the merciful.
