Hello dear readers, sorry, I have been away hence some lapses in my
updates. Today we have very a funny and fascinating article to read. Please do not be carried
away by the amusement, but let the article speak to you.
For me, I have two simple angles from which this article speaks to me; the
acts of the dogs/cats (animals) described here, is an example of the word
“gratitude”. The animals showed that they were grateful to the woman for feeding
them while she was alive.
The question that quickly comes to my mind is that, as Easter is
approaching now, how many of us know that like this woman, Jesus went to the
cross for us? And like the dogs, acknowledge it and make this period a season
of saying thank you, by going down the road with Jesus, rejoicing in His resurrection
and turning from our wicked ways?
Another way the article speaks to me is; like the saying, “one good turn
deserves another”, how good are you to your neighbour and those around you? If
dogs could show a sign of gratitude to the deceased because she fed them while
she was alive, how much more will human
beings be there for us at the times of our need if when we show them love now?
These are food for thought for the season.
There are many more lessons that could be learnt from this article that
will enable us remember our place as Christians and as Human beings. Read with
me and transform your views in life for the best.

These photos show the heart-breaking moment that a group of stray dogs
attended the funeral of a woman who regularly fed them.
Margarita Suarez, from Merida, Mexico, fed up to 20 stray cats that
gathered at her door every morning, and would also take food for the stray dogs
she encountered on the streets.

According to Misiones Online, her health took a turn for the worse at
the beginning of March, and she moved to the city of Cuernavaca, before passing
away a short time after.
Her daughter, Patricia Urrutia, has said that the animals began to
arrive at the funeral home where her mother’s body was being kept, and it was
initially believed that the dogs were local to the area, and welcomed at the
home.
But workers at the funeral home denied any knowledge of the animals, and
on the day of Suarez’ funeral, the dogs followed behind the hearse, and even
returned to the funeral home, only leaving when her body was prepared for
cremation.
