Day #5 Every man, woman, and child is worthwhile, each has a unique contribution to make to the world and all that is in it. We have each been given free will to decide if we will contribute. What about animals? Do animals contribute beyond what is expected? I asked this question and got an amazing answer. It seems as if animals have the ability to reach out and actually contribute to what the world would call their enemy.
Lily, a Labrador mix at The Burlington, Iowa Humane Society is only one of many stories concerning animals that reach beyond what we might call their comfort zone and actually make the world better for another. Lily was pregnant when the Humane Center found her. She quickly gave birth to six adorable puppies all of whom were adopted. As the Center waited for a kind person to adopt Lily four newborn kittens were brought into the Center. Their eyes were barely open and the staff was in quandary of how to be certain the little balls of fluff were all fed round the clock to assure their survival. A quick witted staff member thought of Lily and gingerly the experiment began. Would a 60 plus pound black Lab mix eat the small kittens? Would she shake the life out of them? Or would she somehow know the need of a species not even her own and guarantee their survival? Lily became the mother the kittens needed, not only urging them to nurse but cleaning them and assuring their safety. As I watched this tender video, I was struck by the thought that dogs have the ability to contribute and when presented with a need they do not see differences, only solutions. Evolutionists claim that man is the pinnacle in the chain at this juncture in history. My question, what will it take for humans to act like dogs?
Her Action: Lily saw need, not difference, and she took action to fill the need.
