Goodbye, Blue

Today was a difficult day as we had to make a decision to put our dog, Blue, down. We are sad and there is a Golden Retriever sized hole in our hearts. He was a good dog and truly a member of our family.

I believe that God created dogs as a visible sign of His unconditional love for us as well as His faithfulness. Dogs love us unconditionally and are faithful to the end.

Dogs also teach us a little bit about what it means to truly worship. Whether we were gone five minutes, several hours, or days, Blue was always happy to see us. He loved to be with us and often followed me around the house. We should reflect that kind of happiness and desire to be in God’s presence and to worship Him.
