This video reminds us just how blessed we are and just how thankful we should be. It works great as a sermon illustration on the topic of thanksgiving, missions, or stewardship and giving. It is also great for a special Thanksgiving Day Service.

Lamentations 3 1.I [am] the man [that] hath seen affliction by the rod of his wrath. 2He hath led me, and brought [me into] darkness, but not [into] light. 3Surely against me is he turned; he turneth his hand [against me] all the day. 4My flesh and my skin hath he made old; he hath broken my bones. 5He hath builded against me, and compassed [me] with gall and travail. 6He hath set me in dark places, as [they that be] dead of old. 7He hath hedged me about, that I cannot get out: he hath made my chain heavy. 8Also when I cry and shout, he shutteth out my prayer. 9He hath inclosed my ways with hewn stone, he hath made my paths crooked. 10He [was] unto me [as] a bear lying in wait, [and as] a lion in secret places. 11He hath turned aside my ways, and pulled me in pieces: he hath made me desolate. 12He hath bent his bow, and set me as a mark for the arrow. 13He hath caused the arrows of his quiver to enter into my reins. 14I was a derision to all my people; [and] their song...

Jeremiah 12 1.Righteous [art] thou, O LORD, when I plead with thee: yet let me talk with thee of [thy] judgments: Wherefore doth the way of the wicked prosper? [wherefore] are all they happy that deal very treacherously? 2Thou hast planted them, yea, they have taken root: they grow, yea, they bring forth fruit: thou [art] near in their mouth, and far from their reins. 3But thou, O LORD, knowest me: thou hast seen me, and tried mine heart toward thee: pull them out like sheep for the slaughter, and prepare them for the day of slaughter. 4How long shall the land mourn, and the herbs of every field wither, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein? the beasts are consumed, and the birds; because they said, He shall not see our last end. 5If thou hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee, then how canst thou contend with horses? and [if] in the land of peace, [wherein] thou trustedst, [they wearied thee], then how wilt thou do in the swelling of Jordan? 6For even...

A memorial video to some of the animals that have suffered and died at the hands of vile vivisectors. To the best of our knowledge all of the animals pictured in this video have died. They all died because of human arrogance and greed and they all died needlessly. None of these animals received any compassion or comfort from the human filth that imprisoned, tortured and killed them. All of these animals died terrified and in pain with no one to comfort or care for them. Every year thousands of animals, just like the ones pictured here, suffer and die behind the locked doors of public and private sector laboratories. Because the animals are unable to speak or defend themselves the carnage continues. Animal Rights Edmonton is fighting to stop the horrific waste of life at the University of Alberta and other laboratories in the Edmonton area. Please visit our website www.adledmonton.org and if you are prepared to really fight for the animals then we invite you to join us.
