Healthy Boy

Here is sleepy Luke basset coming home from his vet appointment.  His retired 'hoomans' have spoiled him so much he needs light sedation for his check-up and pedicure. I am reminded what a privilege it is to be given stewardship of our precious animal companions.

Thank you, God, for Luke and Jo and all beloved animals you have entrusted to our care. Give us wisdom and compassion to care for them. They show us a simple love and devotion, much like that of children. I expect to find 'on the other side' that they have spiritual gifts that can swamp ours. I know they bring uncomplicated love directly into our lives and our laps to remind us of Your love. Give Luke a long healthy life and keep me mindful of his needs.

Amen
