This is the last of the "pet posts." Two kitties, two doggies. This one held my gaze. When Joyce and my cousin Kim went out shopping, doggy Mika came up to the sofa and just LOOKED at me with those eyes...I could've melted! Oh, but onto the post!
We went to another cousin Paula's the next day...Mika, are there really COWS grazing in the yard? But Paula's not into raising steer, is she? Mika had already jumped out of the car and was in the field running around. Paula explained herself some people who did raise cows paid her to graze them. They made money on the beef, she was paid for the grazing, and everybody was happy.
"Even the cows get their tummies full, and visiting doggies get to run around and have fun," added Mika as she came running back, panting. Those eyes seemed to be asking, "Aren't I a good reporter?"
How could you not love a dog wanting to please you so much? Yes sweetheart--bless you--Mika happily bounded back out to the yard again.
Isn't that the way God is with us, I mused. He can't help but love us and praises us for wanting to please Him no matter what kind of a job we do...and blesses us repeatedly that we would be encouraged to keep serving Him with gladness.
