Then God said: "Let the earth bring forth living creatures after their kind: cattle and creeping things and beasts of the earth after their kind"; and it was so. God made the beasts on the earth after their kind, and the cattle after their kind, and everything that creeps on the ground after its kind; and God saw that it was good. (Genesis 1:24, 25)Of all the blessings in life, having dogs has got to be up there as one of the best. God knew that when He declared that His creation on day six was good. Believing that God can be seen in all His creations-even animals-Lisa shares observations she has gathered from a lifetime with dogs. She notes how dogs cope with anxiety, fear, joy, hunger, and expressions of love. She started comparing how a dog responds to life with how she responds to life. Her conclusion: she and her dogs were walking the same path. Times when they were scared and didn't come to her, or times when they were ornery and she couldn't catch them-she imagines that is how God looks at her. Why is she being silly and not trusting Him? Why is she heading down a path that isn't good for her? The same.No matter how we handle events in our lives, Jesus is loving, patient, and kind-always there, waiting for us. Lisa shares her life experiences with you in an effort to show the similarities between her response and how a dog responds, but in the end, glorifying God for His goodness, love, and provision.
