Tomorrow will mark the two-year anniversary of my husband finding Hershey Pie - the most precious dog in the world - in the middle of the street and bringing him home. We have THOROUGHLY enjoyed having him in our lives, and I can't believe how much he has grown! Long gone are the days when he would chew any flip flop he could find, and at long last he is free to roam the house without restraint.
Hershey Pie has matured, and I hope we all have as well. I hope we all have more peace, joy, faith, trust, and joy. I hope we are all exercising more self-control and patience. I hope we are reading the Bible more and tuning out the negative news that bombards us daily. I hope we are prioritizing spending more time with the people we love. And I hope we are all praying more and complaining less.
Hershey Pie's excellent behavior has been rewarded because he no longer has to go into his cage whenever Jorge and I leave the house. Our willingness to do things God's way has rewards as well. The Bible promises long life, blessed relationships, protection, gladness, peace, and answered prayer when we do!
PRAYER: Dear Lord, Look at how far we have come! You have been faithful to teach us and guide us, yet we are rewarded when we accept Your instruction. Life works better when we stay calm and depend on You. We have great hope because of Your goodness. We know there are still areas where we fall short. Come into our lives and gently lead us into more righteousness an obedience. We want all the blessings You have for us! In Jesus' name, AMEN!
