I DON'T REALLY LOVE DOGS! 🐶
Currently in our family,
there are 1.2.3.4.5.6. dogs.
Only 2 live w/ us now.
So, let me tell you about LEO?
He lives with us ALL the time, FULL TIME.
Leo is a miniature long haired dachshund.
EVERYONE LOVES LEO!
When I say everyone,
I mean EVERYONE!
Fact is -
I'm not that crazy about dogs
or ANY pet.😳
And while I have involuntarily helped
to raise 5 of the 6 dogs.
Leo, by the grace of goodness,
has survived my unwillingness.
Again being honest -
When we first got Leo, he drove me MAD!
I had a strong dislike for this
"miniature mess of mayhem"!
Leo did things that I didn't like.
He barked when I didn't want him to bark.
He messed when I wished he wouldn't mess.
He had a hard time being obedient when I needed him to obey.
And His nose got him into a lot of trouble.
Sometimes I yelled at Leo.
Ok, LOTS OF TIMES I yelled at Leo.
Many of those times, REALLY LOUD!
Other times, I was patient.
When I was patient,
Leo obeyed and did better.
It's been 3 years since we got Leo.
He is now a loving part of our family
w/ his big personality.
But, I had to go through serious
growing pains with Leo.
Many times I wanted to give up
and just get rid of him.
Now, our "miniature mess of mayhem" - makes me smile.
We ALL enjoy him.
Leo reminds me of what can happen
when we have patience and perseverance.
Once you get to the other side of the hard things in this life.
Believe that you can enjoy the end result.
JAMES 1:12
Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial,...
Leo's a lucky dog. (Lucky I didn't kill 'em!🤣)
Some days I still wish he would do better.
But I continue to be patient and persevere.
I'm sure God feels the same way,
wishing I would do better.
Still, He's patient.
What about you?
What is the "Leo" you need
to persevere through?
Know there is hope on the other side.
Dear God, help us to be patient and to persevere in whatever trials come our way.
In JESUS' name
