Sometimes we need to stop and smell everything as it causes God to open our eyes. And it also was making it an interesting walk with Charly last night. It had just rained and it was just a dog sniffing paradise. My 127# buddy was up for going after all of them.
He pulled. I pulled back. He pulled more. This spot and that spot was more enticing than my “heel”. So I stopped and stood still. He sat by my foot. I looked up and saw the two mourning doves on the wire and instantly the thought of the patience of my two grams came forth in my memories. And I heard the verse from Psalms 121:8, “the LORD will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.” illuminating in my soul.
I looked down upon my Charly, relaxed the leash and let him have his head for the rest of the walk. It may have resembled a drunkards path but nothing was missed.
And I learned deeper the meaning of Genesis’ dominion over the animals.
