Lessons from Dogs
Dogs help us understand God. They help us see how God operates. Here are a few examples:
- They are always happy to welcome you home. No matter how far away you strayed from the path, like a prodigal daughter or son, they rejoice when you come home.
- They just want to hang out with you. Your presence is what they love, longing for time to simply be together.
- They are happy to rescue you from harm. Dogs are trained to go over mountains and over rivers to pull people out of danger to safety.
- Dogs are faithful. A good dog will never leave you or forsake you.
- Dogs, like God, are all about giving. Their sole purpose is to love you.
This Sunday, I invite you to consider what it really means to follow Jesus, who is the Christ.
Who knows?! The dogs may be pointing us in the right direction!
Peace,
Pastor Cathy Johns
