My brother and I went dove hunting with our dogs (golden and a black lab) and we got on the subject of watching the dogs work. We said that there is something special about watching them do what they were born to do. They enjoy the hunting and the retrieving more than we do!
ReplyDeleteWhat I realized is that when they are doing their retrieves they are bringing glory to God! They are using their gifts exactly the way their Creator intended.
