Luke 27:12 “Walk into the fields and look at the wildflowers. They don’t fuss with their appearance-but have you ever seen color and design quite like it? The ten best-dressed men and women in the country look shabby alongside them.”
I live with my older sister and her husband and they have two dogs. One is a snorting, drooling, energetic Pug named Dumpy and the other one is an old, furry Yorkie named Lilly-both are useless. They bark at random, unneeded times and aren’t big enough to protect anything. Dumpy would probably welcome the enemy with a pink tongue flapping out his mouth and a naïve excitement while Lilly ran and hid. The thing they never run out of and are best at is love. You can be so upset at Dumpy for knocking over a card table with his excitement but he will just look at you with that big, pink tongue hanging out his mouth and his bulging, black eyes as if to say, “I didn’t mean to, I was just so excited to play with you.” You can punish them and they will turn around and cuddle into you. What an example this can be for us as humans. To be so forgiving and willing to let things go is a beautiful quality to hold and it’s sad when a dog can do it better than we can. God made nature and saw that it was a wonderful creation just like He made us. We are His creation and we learn from each other, so with nature being created by the perfect hand of God I believe we can learn from it too.
Proverbs 6:6-8 “You lazy fool, look at an ant. Watch it closely; let it teach you a thing or two. Nobody has to tell it what to do. All summer it stores up food; at harvest it stockpiles provisions.”
