For many of us, life is a truly blessed thing.
Though we have worldly troubles, we can still be thankful
for our continued health, our ability to persevere, and for the many, many blessings
God gives us.
But some of God’s creatures don’t have that. Some of them have lost even their basic
faculties.
What would you do?
How would you deal with the removal of a basic sense?
Imagine, for a moment, what it would be like to lose your
sight.
There’s no light, no color, and no shape to guide you. The only images of the sun, the grass, the
blue sky, of your loved ones, are those stored in the vault of your memory.
These photographs of the mind are like snap shots from a by-gone era. With each passing day, they yellow with
age: the true memory of the image, fading
forever.
It’s not a pretty thought, is it?
As human beings, we have the ability to learn, to adapt, and
survive. Animals, though teachable,
sometimes do not survive the loss of such a vital sense. As the world slowly fades from sight, they
can lose all hope. Without help and
loving hands to keep them active and to shape their abilities to adapt, they
simply give up.
Now, what if you were blind, and a doctor told you that you
could have your eyesight back?
What if the doctor told you it would cost $10,000 dollars to
see again, and you had NO insurance.
You’d do anything in your power to be able to let that
doctor heal your eyes, right?
You’d want anybody and everybody to help you reach that $10,000
goal. Right?
You’d pray for an angel to help.
Now, I’ve written all this to make a point.
Right now, the Humane Society of Dover-Stewart County is
trying to be that angel.
MoMo is a two year old; eight pound Yorkie Poo, who has lost
his sight to severe cataracts. His eye
sight can be restored with surgery. It’s going to be expensive.
But MoMo doesn’t need
10,000 dollars. He only needs $3,000.
In an
effort to raise the money to restore MoMo’s sight, I have partnered with my good friends at the Humane Society of Dover-Stewart County by creating a little children's book called "MOMO's MIRACLES".
It's a simple children's story, written on a first grade reading level, that you and your child can enjoy together.
"MO MO'S MIRACLES" will sell for $15 per copy and IS AVAILABLE NOW!
You can arrange for purchase and to have your copy mailed out to you at: www.HumaneSocietyDover.org
Now, if you don't have children in your life, and have no use for a kiddie book, then you can still help little MOMO. I am challenging everyone who doesn't need a book to donate JUST $5 dollars. That’s right—FIVE DOLLARS. If you want to donate MoMo…I mean MORE…then feel free!
I know what the economy is like. I live in the real
world just like you.
But I also know that we buy creature comforts every day that
we could do without. If a bunch of readers contributed cost of a pack of
smokes, or a cup of coffee, or a big mac, then MoMo could have his surgery in
no time. No amount is too small. This is
about a community getting together to help one of God’s creatures.

MoMo is just a little guy who wants to see again.
Have you been a part of a miracle lately?
I humbly ask that you please be a part of this one today.
