I have another video where a house- raised baby beaver built dams across the home’s hallway with all her toys. They are adorable.
My friend in Florida knows a woman there who does this very thing. It seems to be a growing movement and we sure need these people. Bless them for what they do.
This man got truly fed up with customers being rude to his employees (who are kids). He’s gotten a lot of support. There is far too much rudeness today.
These 2 short videos are about 2 different cat situations. Both have happy endings (which we need more of in this fallen world).
One of the gems of our video collection is The Secret Garden (1993), directed by Agniezka Holland and based on the 1910 children’s literature classic by Frances Hodgson Burnett.
It’s a simple story. A little girl whom nobody wants takes over an abandoned garden that nobody wants, and shares it with a little boy whose widowed father is afraid to want him. Out of this comes love, and healing, and redemption.
Those are the things that God does. Throughout the Gospels, most of the actions performed by Jesus are acts of healing. In time, the Bible teaches us, God through Jesus Christ will heal this entire fallen world. We are privileged that, in many cases, God allows us to work with Him and for Him.
This film yesterday brought me to tears. The cinematography is gorgeous, the music score gentle and soul-stirring. Although there is no overt mention of Jesus Christ or Christianity, and even some bits of mumbo-jumbo or “magic” engaged in by the children, the message of the story could hardly be more Christian if it tried.
We are all in need of healing, many of us more than we know. All of Creation is in need of it–and will get it. God has so promised. Meanwhile, there are smaller healings and redemptions all around us. These are, as it were, small down-payments on the larger project: signs that God is nigh, that God is working in His world. He has not forgotten us. He never will.
It’s a rough ride, a lot of the time; but the day of regeneration is at hand and will not be delayed. God has already marked it on His calendar.
I follow Dr. Shah a lot and he has some fascinating medical stories, but this one is very different.
