Proverbs 12:10 The godly care for their animals, but the
wicked are always cruel.
On last night’s national news a local story from John’s
Creek was featured. It seems that a
family adopted a dog that had been severely abused before going to an animal
shelter. These warm hearted people were then blessed when the dog and their
autistic son instantly bonded. The dog
connected to the child in ways humans couldn’t.
It opened up a new world for the boy. As I write this I see dog toys
scattered about the den floor. The
little stray, Dandy that we took in many years ago is sleeping peacefully. He loves to sit in our lap and snuggle up
against our chest. A pet does take some
care but can bring triple the joy. I’m
so glad my grandmother had her little dog after my grandfather passed
away. It kept joy in her heart. If you are petless, would you consider
adopting one? We are charged by God to
care for his creation including his creatures.
You will be rewarded with much happiness in return.Holy God, thank you for the gift of animals and the love
that they bring into our lives. Thanks you for the care we receive from them.
Help more people to be called to adopt those who might not live otherwise. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
Have
a blessed day,
Paige
