Lilac is a tiny terrier mix who is basically joy wearing fur! This 4‑year‑old sweetheart showed up at the shelter looking a little rough around the edges, but don’t let that fool you — her personality has been fabulous from day one. Now that she’s getting the medical care she needed for her itchy skin, she’s blossoming into the happy, wiggly, “life is good!” girl she was always meant to be. Lilac is the kind of dog who wakes up ready to celebrate… well, anything. Breakfast? Amazing. A walk? Incredible. A person smiling at her? Best day ever. She’s friendly with people, plays nicely with other dogs, and has that gentle, goofy charm that makes everyone fall in love with her in about three seconds. She’s a terrier mix with a heart like confetti — bright, cheerful, and impossible not to adore. #adopt #adoption #adoptdontshop #adoptdontbuy #adoptapet #adopadog #adoptthisdog #adoptme #rescueme #rescueadog #saveadog #saveme #euthanasia #foster #fosteradog #fosterthisdog #fosterananimal #euthlisted #share #sharethispost #urgent #savingHokeAnimals #HokeCountyNC #Volunteer #ambassadorsofhokecountyanimals #communitysupport #DonationDrive #Nonprofit #NorthCarolina #WishlistWednesday 🆘🆘🆘🆘🆘🆘🆘🆘🆘🆘🆘🆘

Matthew 5:3 Blessed… what would it take for us to ‘feel’… to believe we’re spiritually prosperous? Is His blessing momentary, fleeting? Do we know we’re blessed no matter what our condition or circumstance is, no matter the season of life, whether hard or easy? Jesus confirms the humble, those who live sacrificial lives, those who consider themselves as insignificant or second when it comes to others are Blessed. If we were to put a ‘sword’ in the hands of Humility and Pride, choosing Humility to fight on our behalf, Humility will always be victorious. Humility acts on behalf of our Strengthener, giving us what we need to serve, to be self sacrificing, to love, to be compassionate, gracious and merciful… like He is. At our weakest point, He’s strong, when we can’t…He can. When Pride, the flesh cries out, ‘It’s all about me’, our spirit of Humility will calm our soul and lead us into His presence…if we choose to follow. It’s here, in His presence, we know we’re Blessed. Being blessed isn’t conditional on our circumstances, but rather based in His deep seated, flawless, unfailing, unconditional Love. Being blessed doesn’t depend on us, where we are or who we’re with, it’s realized through God’s Grace and Mercy. It’s knowing Joy and Peace are unconditional and rooted in the security of our Salvation. “The Joy of the Lord is our Strength.’ Living in a fallen world provides new opportunities, each and every day, to choose… to make a decision as to Who we want to fight for us…in choosing Humility, it’s a win-win situation. If Pride works himself into the lineup, and we allow him to fight for us, it could be said, at the end of the day, win – lose would be the final score. Choosing to be humble in a world that cries out for self satisfaction comes from our love for our Creator and submitting to His training in righteousness. It requires self-control, and discipline… and Practice, let us never tire of doing good things, selfless acts of service… regardless of our outer cond

Woodford is a gentle soul with a heart that's still learning how to trust. This sweet, shy boy has been through more than any dog should, and because of that, the world can feel a little scary to him at times. Every day, though, Woodford is making progress. He's discovering that walks are fun, the outdoors can be exciting, and toys are actually pretty great. Watching him experience these simple joys for the first time is incredibly rewarding. Woodford is still cautious around new people and needs time to feel safe. He's not the kind of dog who will run up to greet strangers right away—but for the patient person willing to let him move at his own pace, he'll show you just how special he is. He's doing wonderfully with his routine, sleeping quietly through the night in his kennel and going potty outside like a champ. What Woodford needs most is a forever home filled with patience, kindness, and understanding. A family willing to show him that not all people are scary and that love can be unconditional. In return, you'll get the privilege of watching a brave dog blossom into the companion he was always meant to be. #adopt #adoption #adoptdontshop #adoptdontbuy #adoptapet #adopadog #adoptthisdog #adoptme #rescueme #rescueadog #saveadog #saveme #euthanasia #foster #fosteradog #fosterthisdog #fosterananimal #euthlisted #share #sharethispost #urgent #savingHokeAnimals #HokeCountyNC #Volunteer #ambassadorsofhokecountyanimals #communitysupport #DonationDrive #Nonprofit #NorthCarolina #WishlistWednesday 🆘🆘🆘🆘🆘🆘🆘🆘🆘🆘🆘🆘

Psalm 42:11 “As the hart pants and longs for the water brooks, so I pant and long for You, O God. My inner self thirsts for God, for the living God”. Our Psalmist doesn’t hide his vulnerability, the condition of his soul. He’s cast down, disquieted, burdened…believing himself to be forgotten. Our psalmist is surrounded by enemies taunting him, asking him, ‘Where is your God?’ Perhaps, for even just a moment, he wondered the same thing. ‘Can He hear me’? ‘Does He see me’?’…does He care’? ‘How long…Lord’? In between how he feels…how we feel when we’re suffering or afflicted, if we’re listening, is God’s still, small voice planting Truth in our hearts. He’s the God Who Sees and Hears. The God Who holds our Hope, the God Who’s ‘right here’, the God Who’s name is Help. “Yet the Lord will command His loving kindness in the daytime, and in the night His song shall be with me”. Instead of our Psalmist questioning God, he begins to question his own soul as he grabs hold of the Truth, knowing the One Who is his Help, knowing the One Who is able to lift his countenance…and he’s willing to wait expectantly for Him. He lays his petition out to God, but he doesn’t ‘stay there’. He doesn’t get comfortable in his suffering and fall as prey to a spirit of Self-Pity. He takes hold of the Truth, he’s attentive to the reality of God‘s presence in himself, of Who He is in all His power and glory. We take note, we choose to listen, to wait expectantly, knowing Who He is, Who He is in us. Lord, we bring our petitions before You, we lay them at Your feet. Thank You for taking our face in Your hands, adjusting our focus to rest on Your promises. Help us to wait patiently and expectantly, knowing our Hope, our Help is in You. We want to go deeper, we want more of You…

Romans 6:4 #Bibleverse

A Prayer to Free You from the Spirits of Anger and Resentment. Dear Heavenly Father, I come to You seeking liberation from the burdens of anger, hatred, pride, and resentment that weigh heavily on my heart. I ask for Your guidance to release these negative emotions that hinder my ability to fully experience Your True Love. I acknowledge my feelings of frustration and surrender my struggles and the people involved to You, laying my anger at the foot of Your cross and renouncing all spirits of anger, pride, and revenge in Your Name. In times of distress, I seek relief from the anger and resentment that hold me captive. Grant me the strength to let go of these feelings, allowing peace and forgiveness to fill the emptiness within me. May I find the courage to heal and embrace compassion, breaking free from the chains of past traumas. Cleanse my soul with Your Most Precious Blood, freeing me from any desire for retaliation. In Your Name, I reject all thoughts that separate me from You, and I embrace Your love, finding comfort in the Father’s embrace and the peace of the Holy Spirit. Heal me from the inside out Jesus, and let me find refuge in You. In Jesus' Mighty Name, Amen.

I think some historical buildings and symbols tied to hatred, division, or painful parts of history keep society emotionally attached to the past instead of encouraging progress. While history should still be taught and remembered through education, books, and museums. constantly preserving certain reminders in everyday life can continue fueling racial tension and division between people. There's a difference between earning from history and glorifying or constantly surrounding ourselves with it. In my opinion, real progress comes from focusing more on the future, unity, and the values we want the next generation to grow up with rather than holding onto every physical reminder of the past.
