Animal Instinct
“The heavens declare the glory of the Lord”! How often I have read and heard this. I have thought of it when confronted with a beautiful sunset or view, but this weekend it holds an entirely new significance for our little family. Our dog, Belle, had a litter of 8 puppies. All creation of course gives its Creator glory in its very existence and form, but I had not considered the wonder of animal instinct. Belle is a 3 1/2 year old lab and generally behaves more like a puppy herself than a mother, so to see her cherish these little ones and know exactly what to do is quite remarkable. It astonished me that she needed no birth classes, nor hand to hold, rather peace and quiet to let things occur as God had planned it to be. If only I could have the same sweet surrender in my daily life.
