At the end of last year,
my friend had to put her older dog down and she commented to me that she
learned a lot from her dog Winnie - patience, forgiveness, and unconditional
love to name a few. I agree, we have lessons to learn from our dogs and other animals.
My dog Rudy likes to stop on the path in the woods when we walk and every few
feet he will be still, listen, smell and look. I think we can learn lessons
from the many creatures that God created, to stop, be still and use all of our
senses to take in all of God's creation.
Psalm 46:10 Be still and
know that I am God
Gracious Father,
Help us to be still and
just listen. We can hear Your voice in the gentle breeze blowing the leaves in
the trees, the cicadas buzzing during the heat of the day, the crickets' song
at night, and the birds singing their songs all day long. They all remind us
that You are always with us if we just take the time to look and listen! Amen.
