A true gift from God

One of God’s greatest gifts to us is a devoted pet dog. Owning a pet dog has a lesson for us dog lovers. God gave us the dog to demonstrate the love he has for us and the love we should have for him. You see our pet dogs look to us their masters for every thing and all things. In turn they give us their love, devotion and will be loyal to us till the very end.
You see, when a dog hurts, he comes to his master for aid. When he is hungry he comes to his master for food. When he is thirsty, he comes to his master for drink. When we are sad he is there to cheer us up. When we are in danger he is there to protect us even if it is to his death. He is always devoted to us. When we get frustrated and shoo him away, or scold him for doing something bad, he immediately seeks our affection and wants our forgiveness. Don’t we do the same thing towards the Lord? We look to him for food, drink, protection, and health. We look to the Lord for all our needs. When we do some thing wrong and the Lords needs to scold us, we in turn want to snuggle up to the Lord and seek his forgiveness. In turn we should be just as devoted and be willing to fight for our Lord right to death. We should always live our lives so the Lord is proud of us. We should always be found doing his work.
So the next time you look at a dog, remember this. He represents the love and devotion we share with our Lord. He gave his all so we could live. In him we are saved and have eternal life. His blood washes away our sins. The next time you are petting your dog, thank God for him and the lesson he demonstrates to us. I am so thankful that God gave me Skeeter. Skeeter is a miracle and a true gift from God. He has taught me how much the Lord loves me and how much I should love the Lord and how devoted I should be to him. I pray that I can have Skeeter in my life for a few more years to come so I can ever be reminded of God’s Love.
