Sunday, May 2, Listening

We were gone on vacation this past week and one of our pet dogs disappeared. While just an animal, she is kind of a family member and is our responsibility. We could do nothing since we were out of town. It was rather stressful thinking about all the things that can happen to a small dog out in the cold cruel world. They are pretty defenseless. I told God she was just a dog, but was one of his creatures placed in my care. I could do nothing from where I was at. I asked Him to take care of her for me. Short story shorter, we got her back safe and sound. I struggled with leaving her in God's hands, but kept telling myself that God cares for even the little things in our lives and He does. Thank you Father for showing me in this life episode that you do listen and answer our prayers.
