Sunday 10/16/16 was not only the 289th day of 2016, but it was also one of my favorite days at Church. The Blessing of the Animals was amazing, not only because it was beautiful weather for an outside service, not only because we got to take Skylar and Talia to Church, so our entire nuclear family was represented, but also because we were reminded that this "dog eat dog" world that we live in should be more of a "dog love dog" world (and I love that as I tried to type "dog" I kept typing "god" (twice) - hmmmmmmmm). And, we were also reminded about our responsibility to care for this Earth on which we live. I pray that we, as a society, do better. We have to. For ourselves and for our environment. So, although this is not a conventional hymn, per se. We sang it today during the service, so I take liberty to count this Bill Staines classic as our hymn of the week, song of he day!
