I have a little dog, she stands about a foot tall (give or take an inch or two), she is black and faithful and loyal and lovable. This precious dog has become a cleptomaniac. Yup she will find whatever she can, where ever she can and brings it home to give to my nephews 8 month old pup who is now huge (great dane cross staffy) and who is tied up at night. She jumps the side fence, to go and has to drag the 'gifts' over the fence to come home, and sometimes I know it is far from easy for her to do. She manages this some time between when she is fed at night and when its time for bed as she sleeps inside. So far we have received two crocks (rubber shoes), an ug boot, three fluffy toys, a doll, a sword, three balls and today a toy camera. Embarrassing because by the time we find them they usually completely worked over but sometimes we get them in like condition as they were given. It is out of her desire to please I believe she does it, admirable but not condonable. :D I know he enjoys her diligence.
If only we had the same desire, determination and drive to bring to God all that we could find to bring, our problems, our praise, our worship, our thanksgiving, our bodies, our neighbours, friends, family, strangers, our all and let God just work them over, and bless us with the finished product of His hand. If only we would bring them to Him in the dark hours as much as in the light. If we would do all that is necessary, even when it is not easy some times. If we would not hold back and be selfless in our giving unto Him not expecting them to be unchanged. Sometimes we do get things back as we gave, sometimes we dont. Praise God that He is faithful to give us the best as we are faithful to give God our all. How about we wait patiently, seeking God, to see what He might bring to us as we are open to receive from Him. Matthew 7:11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?
