Last week, Sitka (my alaskan malamute) wrote about his friend Wolfie on his blog, All God's Creatures. After much thought, I realized Sitka's article should be shared on my blog, too. Hope each of you enjoy Sitka's wise words!
Meet my friend Wolfie. Wolfie has experienced two lives. In his previous
life he suffered greatly. He doesn't share the details of his torment,
but we know it was horrific. For the last few years, he has experienced
only love, gourmet meals prepared by Chef Mom, trips to waffle house
with Dad and his furry sister Timber, and lots of other special treats.
Their home is nestled amongst the trees in a suburban community near
Richmond, Va.
With all this love and attention you might ask what my furry friend
could possibly want? Well, everybody needs a get away; one of those
places no one else knows about. A place to lay in the sun and gaze at
the water. Above is a picture of Wolfie at his private get away. Doesn't
he look content and at peace? It's rumored there are times when his
parents are ready to return to their home in the trees and he refuses.
Sometimes, he just needs a few more days to lay on the hill and gaze at
the water.
God has blessed Wolfie with the life he deserved from the beginning.
Just like with many humans, Wolfie needed a peaceful place to listen and
talk to God. Don't be jealous of Wolfie. If you look around you will
find a place to retreat. It may be in a park or in the woods by a creek,
but if you look hard enough God will lead you to that place. Focus on
the good and leave the pain of the past in the past. Life is too short
to fret and frown.
Woofs and Wags,
~The last few weeks have been crazy in The Perdue Zoo. Please keep us in your prayers as we stumble, crawl, and curl up in the arms of our Heavenly Father!
By HIS mercy and in the grip of HIS grace,
Andrea
