Again, I Was Reminded Everything Is By Grace
Author: siggyI was doing something this morning I was not looking forward to: Replacing the urine stained newspaper and then getting rid of the poop in the dining room. I simply did not want to this morning. One of my dogs (we have four) still uses this room as a bathroom.
A little voice told me to thank God for doing that. Most of my life I did not have pets. I always wanted them although growing up my mother was simply too fastidious to even consider having them so I do not remember even asking her permission to have a pet.
The last twenty-two years I have had pets. My two wives both loved dogs and cats. So I decided to thank God for the task of picking up poop and handling soiled newspaper.
That is a small price to pay for the joy of having four dogs and eight cats. Each pet has a different personality and are a joy to have. All that is only by grace. And cleaning up the dining room reminded me it is a privilege to have pets. So thank you God for that!
