It’s about love.
Pets can help us to heal from past traumas, and become a better person if we are open to it.
Like children, who cause many parents to change their lifestyles and mindsets. Pets can do the same.
We can learn spiritual things and grow in life from interacting with our pets. Such as, unconditional love, loyalty and innocence.
Your pet loves you no matter what your past is. No matter what failures you have or heartaches you bear. Even if all of society hates you. Your pet is still there to meet you when you come home.
This love they show, can help us grow in our love for ourselves and others, if we allow it.
WWFD= What Would Fido Do?
Now of course running up to people and licking them is a no go. (Sometimes).
My pets have filled my heart and life with love and joy, which cannot help but spill over.
Our animal friends can teach us great spiritual truths.
Our love for our pets can grow into love for nature and the animals in it. When we realize how smart and caring our pets are. It should lead us to realize the same about nature.
Why do we think we are superior?
We were created to take care of and protect nature. Our love of our pets can remind us of that. If we let it.
Our pets can teach us of love, joy, duty and loyalty, that we never get from humans.
When we realize that pets, and animals in nature are often better than us. It helps to remind us that we are fallen. That we can turn to God, for healing in our lives.
The natural world screams spiritual truth, if we listen.

God Will Come Running
When we turn to Him Jesus tells us a story about a young man who left home and went to make a name for himself. (Luke 15:11-32) It could be a kid going to college with his parents credit card. Or a kid chasing a dream with his fathers support and blessing. We know this…
How Do We Pray?
It’s simpler than we think Prayer, is a conversation with God. For me, I just talk to the Lord. Jesus says that God is our father. The Apostles tell us that God is our father as well, if we know Him. When we believe Him, He calls us friend. Abraham believed what God told him,…
As If By Fire
We Are Being Sanctified “Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is. If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. If any man’s…
