@TheRHPolls They need her more likely. These women are so jealous of her and it shows in the nastinesss and cattiness and all the trash talking they do about her. She should tell them all to get effed.
Saint Gabriel’s prayer is a very powerful prayer, so try to pray it twice a day. He is God’s messenger, the one who announced the coming of Jesus to Mary. In the morning, ask him for strength and a clear heart. At night, ask him to place your needs before God’s mercy. His name means “Strength of God,” and his intercession brings courage and peace. Keep this habit, and you invite that same heavenly help into daily life.

Our 14-year-old dog Abbey died last month. The day after she passed away my 4-year-old daughter Meredith was crying and talking about how much she missed Abbey. She asked if we could write a letter to God so that when Abbey got to heaven, God would recognize her. I told her that I thought we could so, and she dictated these words:
Dear God,
Will you please take care of my dog? She died yesterday and is with you in heaven. I miss her very much. I am happy that you let me have her as my dog even though she got sick.
I hope you will play with her. She likes to swim and play with balls. I am sending a picture of her so when you see her you will know that she is my dog. I really miss her.
Love, Meredith
We put the letter in an envelope with a picture of Abbey and Meredith and addressed it to God/Heaven. We put our return address on it. Then Meredith pasted several stamps on the front of the envelope because she said it would take lots of stamps to get the letter all the way to heaven. That afternoon she dropped it into the letterbox at the post office. A few days later, she asked if God had gotten the letter yet. I told her that I thought He had.
Yesterday, there was a package wrapped in gold paper on our front porch addressed, 'To Meredith' in an unfamiliar hand. Meredith opened it. Inside was a book by Mr. Rogers called, 'When a Pet Dies.' Taped to the inside front cover was the letter we had written to God in its opened envelope. On the opposite page were the picture of Abbey & Meredith and this note:
Dear Meredith,
Abbey arrived safely in heaven. Having the picture was a big help and I recognized her right away.
Abbey isn't sick anymore. Her spirit is here with me just like it stays in your heart. Abbey loved being your dog. Since we don't need our bodies in heaven, I don't have any pockets to keep your picture in so I am sending it back to you in this little book for you to keep and have something to remember Abbey by.
Thank you for the beautiful letter and thank you
A heartwarming moment of faith unfolded inside a Catholic church as a dog named Simon quietly joined the community during intercessory prayer, a form of prayer offered on behalf of others.

‼️ A 30-year-old mother came home after delivering her baby boy by C-section, then developed severe pain around the surgical area and struggled to breathe.
She went back to the hospital because she knew something wasn’t right.
Days later, Claudia was rushed back by ambulance with sepsis so severe that her family says the infection had already affected her kidneys and lungs.
Then her newborn baby became seriously ill too.
Now a mother who should be recovering from childbirth with her baby in her arms is fighting to recover while little Eli is hospitalized with a serious infection of his own.
This is frightening for any woman who has given birth or is preparing to.
Alma reached out to me from Laredo, Texas, hoping people on my page will surround Claudia and Eli with prayer.
Claudia gave birth to Eli by C-section on August 6th.
A couple of days after being released, her family says she began experiencing significant pain around her C-section and difficulty breathing.
She knew something didn’t feel right and returned to the hospital.
According to her family, Claudia was told she may have been overdoing it after giving birth and needed to take it easy.
But she kept getting worse.
On August 15th, Claudia became so short of breath that she called an ambulance.
Her family says doctors discovered she had developed sepsis from a severe infection that had already affected her kidneys and lungs.
She was admitted to the ICU in critical condition.
Then, while her loved ones were trying to comprehend how a 30-year-old new mother had become so desperately ill, they were hit with another frightening development.
Baby Eli was sick too.
The newborn was transferred to Driscoll Children’s Hospital after doctors discovered what the family describes as a serious infection in his chest.
In a matter of days, a mother and her newborn went from beginning their life together to fighting serious infections in separate hospitals.
The family says doctors are still trying to understand what happened and whether the two infections could somehow be connected.
There is some encouraging news.
Alma says Eli has begun improving.
Claudia remains in delicate condition as her body continues fighting to recover.
And there is one thing this family desperately wants to see again:
Claudia holding her baby boy.
If you’re a mother who experienced a serious or unexpected complication after giving birth, please share your story below. What symptoms told you something wasn’t right?
Someone reading your experience may need to hear it.
And please put Claudia and Eli’s names in your prayers today.
Pray for Claudia’s lungs and kidneys to recover, for Eli to keep getting stronger and for wisdom for every medical professional caring for them.
Most of all, pray for the day this new mom can finally hold her baby boy in her arms again.

🚨WOW!!!
An Ohio principal LOST HIS JOB after refusing to abandon a homeless 16-year-old student who was sleeping in a CAR.
He and his wife already had SIX KIDS… but they took him in anyway.
When the boy offered to LEAVE so the principal could save his career, he refused. ❤️
His name is Rob Burnside. He had spent 31 YEARS in education and was the principal of Lakota East High School outside Cincinnati.
The boy’s name is Landerius “DeDe” Hayes.
During DeDe’s junior year, his home life fell apart.
He says living with his mother wasn’t safe, his father was dealing with problems of his own, and there were nights when DeDe was sleeping in a car with the heater running because the mobile home where his father was staying was too cold.
...and yet, every morning, he kept showing up to school.
Eventually the school learned DeDe’s mother had moved outside the district. Without a qualifying address, DeDe was withdrawn from Lakota East.
That’s when Principal Burnside realized this wasn’t just an enrollment problem.
This kid didn’t have a freaking HOME.
Rob went home and told his wife, Angel, what was happening. Her response was basically: if he needs somewhere to live, he can live with us.
Rob and Angel already had SIX CHILDREN, including two they had adopted, but there was a 16-year-old boy out there without a stable place to sleep, and they couldn’t ignore it.
The couple prayed about whether they should take DeDe in. Rob has said that just minutes later, his phone buzzed.
It was DeDe.
“Hey, Mr. Burnside.”
Rob looked at his wife and knew they had their answer.
DeDe moved in with the Burnsides and suddenly had something he desperately needed: a warm house, food, stability and people who were going to show up for him.
While DeDe’s custody and residency situation was being worked out, Burnside allowed him to continue attending classes even though he’d already been withdrawn.
The district investigated Burnside for insubordination and raised concerns about enrollment, lunches and liability.
He was eventually placed on administrative leave.
After 31 YEARS in education, Rob says he was given a choice: step down or go through the termination process.
The 16 year old, DeDe, realized Rob’s career was on the line and offered to LEAVE THEIR HOME so Burnside could keep his job.
Rob wouldn’t allow it.
He hugged DeDe and told him: "You’re part of this family. We’re not gonna turn our back on you.”
So Burnside stepped away from the career he’d spent three decades building... and DeDe stayed.
The Burnsides eventually became his legal family. DeDe started calling Rob and Angel “Pops and Ma.”
Then this past May, Rob Burnside sat in the stands at DeDe’s high school graduation.
Not as the principal, just sitting there as a dad, watching the kid he refused to abandon walk across the stage.
DeDe is 18 now and is pursuing a career in aviation mechanics.
When asked he regretted what happened, Rob simple said:
“What value can we put on the life of a young person?”
When Rob Burnside had to choose between protecting that career and protecting a homeless kid who needed somebody…
He chose the kid.
And when that kid offered to sacrifice his own home to repay him…
Rob chose him AGAIN.
THIS IS THE AMERICA I KNOW!!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
