Good morning my DU family, [View all]

I had the pleasure of meeting and helping to find a new home for a kitten that can't be more than eight weeks old yesterday. What makes it such a sad story is that someone dumped him and left him to die when surrendering him to an animal shelter would have been the kindest thing to do.

I'm really glad they called me, the crazy cat dude at church lol, to see if I could help. My purpose in sharing this story is only in the context of being reminded of just how wonderful doing something meaningful can be.

That most of us here would help in a situation like this when we could is without question. What I'm particularly grateful for is the opportunity. It just adds such deep joy to a day when gifted with the chance to do good.

Please give us a day filled with opportunities to make a meaningful contribution to those around us, especially those in need.

Have a deeply satisfying day DU.
Love, John
