My Devotional Journal: Today's Our Daily Bread author, Anne Cetas … AT THIS LINK … tells of dog in the UK, named “Billy,” which received a lot of internet attention in 2020 <b>(see photo)</b> because the dog would limp like his owner, Russell, who had to walk with a cane due to an injury, The ODB author wrote, “That’s what you call trying to truly identify with someone’s pain!” And readers can see the UK report of Billy, the Dog … USING THIS LINK
And isn’t that what God calls all of us to do; … to show the love of God to others, … love that we all need desperately. That’s what Dionne Warwick was singing about in the linked song, wasn’t it?

My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh, Abba Father, thank You, King Jesus, … for showing me how to love someone today who might need for me to walk alongside of them.
My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray that all reading here will join me, … to reach out and share Your love to anyone who might need it today. … Amen
