How Will We Decide?

Faithful Budgets, Faithful Citizenship, Faithful Brothers and Sisters to our Neighbors, to our one Earth Community on our Journey, all have to do with just, loving choices with special concern for the poor and marginalized, who have little or no voice.  Humans have human rights;
animals have animal rights.  How will we decide?  How will we as a community and individually give handups?  How will we leave our magnificent Earth home for our children and grandchildren, for the bird "children", the fish children, the deer children, the cattle children, the lion children, the plant children, etc.

"Let Everything that Breathes Praise the Lord!" (Psalm 150)

Praise is an important form of prayer.  Our pets, all animals and all Creation join in praise according to the Psalms:

                                                   

                                                           
                                                                                                       
Praise him sun and moon...
Praise the Lord from the earth...

















 
fire and hail, snow and frost...            
fruit trees and all cedars!











Wild animals and all cattle,                    
      creeping things and flying birds!

                                                                                       




                                                     







Kings of the earth and all peoples,
     princes and all rulers of the earth!
Young men and women alike,
     old and young together!
