My “puppy” is now 5 months old and weighs almost 60 pounds. Emotionally, she is still a puppy but physically she is fast becoming a dog! She experienced her first snow yesterday. And she LOVES snow! She doesn’t mind rain and she loves the snow. Thursday night it got dark before I could walk her so I took her downtown where there is plenty of light. She likes to walk in the city; she likes to walk in the city park; she likes to play in the woods; she is even happy in our small back yard.
So what has she taught me? That relationship is more important circumstance. As long as she is with me (or another family member, including “Chance”, our other dog), nothing else seems to matter to her. As much as she likes to be outside, she doesn’t like to be out there alone.
To God, a personal relationship with Him is more important than the good deeds that we do (Matthew 7:22-24). From the human standpoint, a relationship with Him will carry us through any and every circumstance. Do you have a relationship with God through Jesus Christ? You can have it. God wants you to have it. If you don’t know how, contact me. I want to keep this short, so I won’t talk about all the other relationships that are more important than circumstances: friends, family, marriage, parent-child, child-parent, etc.
I thank God for my German Shepherd puppy. She reminds me of important things, like “relationship is more important than circumstance.”
