It warms the heart
I was watching the news last night and there were two stories that touched my heart deeply.
The first was of interest to me because of Michael’s job at the prison. It was about inmates that are helping to build low income housing with a reach program at the prison. The inmates are able to learn a trade and help society while they are at it. Many of them are able to even work through their apprenticeship while still in prison so when they are released they are able to find jobs right away. What a great program to help others work and make a living so they are prepared when they are back among society!
The second was about a woman that has terminal cancer that lost her dog. This dog is considered a service dog and helps her with her treatments. She has no children and no family just this little dog. The night before last there was a story about her coming home and finding the dog gone with just the collar in the yard. No one around had seen the little animal. Last night they ran the story that someone had found the dog and she was returned to her owner. Talk about a joyous reunion. That dog was so happy to be home! This sweet woman cried and cried. She has been fighting her cancer for so long, and had felt that this dog was the only reason for her to continue to fight as long as she can. As someone that loves dogs I found it to be such a touching a beautiful story of affection and hope.
So what good news have you seen lately that has warmed your heart to the good in the world?
