Our dog chance as some of you know is a rescue dog. When we first got him he was very shy, had no confidence, and was scared most of the time. Just like people it took time for him to trust us. Relationships take time. We can't rush them, and we need to adjust. Chance knows what's going on!
The last two mornings while I was having coffee Chance was more affectionate then usual, couldn't get close enough, needed to be petted more, jump up on my lap, he could sense that something was wrong. I was having issues in my life and they affected him. When we have issues in our lives they affect others.
Pat made a statement "it is what it is". How true yet we can't always grasp the thought. I find that the only way to know where I stand is based on this scripture. But the Fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long suffering, gentleness, goodness, Faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no Law Galatians 5 22-23 (KJV). When I find myself trying to change the situations I find myself in, it's all about me. When I let the Holy Spirit work, it's all about God. You will notice it says "The Fruit of the Spirit". When we aren't experiencing, love, joy, peace, we should know that we are trying to live by the fruits of self. Vary plane hard to do. Life and life more abundant a promise from God. Life of difficulty results of self.
The next time that Chance is uneasy, maybe someone is trying to tell me something. Just a dog? Or a more sensitive creature that has been given to us. His response to my issues is where this blog came from.
