    My dad had a donkey - when his fathers land was divided - his siblings sold him. It broke my dads heart. Im glad to see someone cares about them the way he did. ❤️

    ⛅️💚🐴Donkeys are absolutely among some of my personal favorite animals. It breaks my heart oftentimes how people mercilessly and evilly show no compassion to animals let alone fellow humans.💔 This was such a deeply moving story, made me smile a little through some lite tears. As I’m still grieving and going through my own deep sorrow of losing my beloved adopted mom. 😪🥀😢

      No, he hasn't realized what 'really' matters in every life. > God said he won't allow adulterers, fornicators, homosexuals, pedophiles, liars, thieves, murderers, gossipers, usurpers, or idol worshipers into Heaven > because these are not OF him, they are OF Satan. God set up rules, laws, decrees, teachings, & commands, he told mankind what was good and what was evil, then gave them CHOICE as to who they wanted to serve > God or the forbidden pleasures of the world. Many nice people choose to ignore, contradict, & reject God. < It's a choice.

    I LOVE this story! Selflessness is what gives our lives meaning. Focusing solely on ourselves is really the key to misery. We think we have to accomplish a certain level of success in order to feel like we made it, but that only feeds our ego. “Souls in a high state of advancement are often found in humble circumstances on Earth. By the same token, people in the upper strata of influence in human society are by no means in a blissful state of soul maturity. Often, just the reverse is true.” ―Michael Newton, Journey Of Souls: Case Studies of Life Between Lives
