Dona Nobis Pacem

Hello Friends:

Circumstances have kept me from blogging lately, and I've missed my  online friendships. I plan to do a better job of keeping in touch, and today's post seems a good way to start.
.
Mimi at 'Mimi Writes' hosts the annual Blogblast4peace,  a celebration of hope wherein we're invited to create our own prayer for a better world using one of the templates she provides.
.
Today I make a plea for the animals of the world, caught up in a war of their own as we encroach upon their habitats and push species to the brink of extinction. A visit to East Africa several years ago impressed upon me the need to keep as sacrosanct the open plains that allow animals to be free, as they are meant to be. It was amazing to watch this young lion  laze comfortably on a sun-baked plateau, secure in the knowledge that the wide Serengeti was his to roam.
.
.
I'm also running the globe I posted last year as a reminder that children and animals are depending on us to bequeath them a world where war is obsolete and all living things are cared for.
We must not let them down....


.
Please, please stop by Mimi Writes and add your voice to the many who know we can make the world a better place by sharing our prayers and joining ideas. Together, we will make a difference.
