It seems every Memorial Day or July 4th someone e-mails me pictures of military dogs and their humans. Every year there are new pictures along with the older ones. I love them. They tear the heart right out of my body while bringing God's gratitude to my soul.
These dogs and the humans who depend on them are what a still more spiritual life looks like to me...utterly selfless.
The dogs are guarding the humans who depend on them and the humans who depend on them are guarding us. So the dogs through their humans are guarding us. Without a thought of...yeah, and what are you doing for me? Or, when am I going to get ...?
I'm betting there's not a one amongst us whose first thought isn't "I'd like to be that selfless" and whose second thought isn't "Whoa...too hard by half!" And that's just thinking of the humans! The dogs?...truly God's angels on earth.
I am humbled that I can simply recognize such holiness and know it for God's work.
Thank You.
