I've been spending a lot of time with my son recently offering comfort and encouragement. If you've been reading my blog, you'll remember that we adopted a stray dog back in early December 2007. We named her Caramel and my son loves her dearly.
Unfortunatley, Caramel is not a good fit with our family and neighborhood. Having lived on the street, she is very dominant, protective, and has become overly aggressive. We've tried everything, but she needs a different environment than we have to offer. Try explaining that to your 10 year old.
All he understands is that he loves our dog. He doesn't understand that there is something out there better for her. Which got me to thinking...
How often do I hold on to things instead of giving them to God? God has something better out there for me, but I miss it because I am satisfied and holding on to what I already have.
In a few days, I'll be writing another blog and sharing some news. It's going to be exciting for our boys and far better than anything they've ever imagined.
Until then... I'm going to try to loosen my grip and let God provide for me.
