  Georgina watches me. She doesn’t try to poke me or pull my tail. She doesn’t push her face into mine, and she speaks very softly. “Welcome,” she says. 
   
  Most shelter animals dream of going home with a forever family. But for Elvis, being chosen by Mrs. Pemberton is a nightmare. He’s been taken away from his sister, Etta, and is determined to get back to the shelter to find her. 
   
  In spite of himself, Elvis becomes curious about ten-year-old Georgina Pemberton, who builds LEGO skyscrapers in her bedroom while navigating her parents’ divorce. The longer he’s in his new home, the more he starts recognizing new feelings: admiration for Georgina’s  
  creations, affection for the other pets, and even empathy for the Pembertons—despite his longing for Etta. 
   
  As Georgina sets out to build her most impressive skyscrapers yet, the Twin Towers, Elvis realizes that maybe both humans and animals have felt the pain of loss, but with some resilience and hope, we all possess the strength to rebuild. 
   
  “Elvis’s journey is sweet and funny and profound.”—Eliot Schrefer, National Book Award finalist

  Be Blessed in Your Coming and...

  What does it really mean to be blessed? Is blessing just about abundance, or is it something deeper—something spiritual and eternal? 
  🎙️ In this powerful sermon, His Holiness Pope Shenouda III, the late Patriarch of the Coptic Orthodox Church, unveils the rich and sacred meaning of blessing according to the Word of God. You’ll discover how to live your life entirely under the open hand of God’s grace—whether in work, family, health, or the quiet depths of your soul. 
  ✝️ From the very beginning of creation, blessing was God's seal: 
  “And God blessed them and said: Be fruitful and multiply.” (Genesis 1:28) “Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it.” (Genesis 2:3) 
  📖 Blessing is not about material wealth or high status—it is about God’s presence in your life. 
  It is His hand stretched over your path, His breath in your work, His comfort in your pain. 
  “The blessing of the Lord brings wealth, and He adds no sorrow to it.” (Proverbs 10:22) “You will be blessed when you come in and blessed when you go out.” (Deuteronomy 28:6) 
  🔑 So where does blessing come from? 
  1️⃣ From God Himself – when you walk in His commandments. 
  2️⃣ From holy people – like Melchizedek who blessed Abraham. 
  3️⃣ From parents – “Honor your father and mother, and it will go well with you.” 
  4️⃣ From the poor and needy – when you serve, give, and comfort others. 
  5️⃣ From sacred places – the house of the Lord is a wellspring of grace. 
  6️⃣ From God’s Word – Scripture is a flowing river of blessing. 
  7️⃣ From the holy sacraments – the Church is a fountain of divine life. 
  8️⃣ From the holy Cross – mark yourself with it and you receive its power. 
  9️⃣ From prayer – “I will not let You go unless You bless me.” (Genesis 32:26)
