These adorable puppies are a cross between a miniature Jack Russell and a Corgi.

The following story is called ‘Searching For Peace’ and is from an old Jewish tale

Miguel asked ‘Master, I’m in desperate need of help – or I’ll go crazy. We’re living in a single room, my wife, my children and my in-laws. So our nerves are on edge, we yell and scream at one another. The room is a hell.’ The Master asked, ‘Very well. How many animals do you have?’ Miguel replied, ‘A cow, a goat and six chickens. ‘Take them all into the room with you’ said the Master. Then come back to me after a week.’

The disciple was appalled. But he trusted the Master and took in all his animals in. A week later he came back, a pitiable figure moaning. ‘I’m a nervous wreck, he complained, The dirt! The stench! The noise! We’ll all on the verge of madness!’ ‘Go back,’ said the Master, ‘and put the animals out.’ The man ran all the way home. He came back the following day, his eyes sparkling with joy. ‘How sweet life is! The animals are out. The home is a paradise – so quiet and clean and roomy!’

Before you ask God for something, check what you have and ask yourself: ‘Am I fully using what I already have?’
