Luke 5:11 - So they pulled their boats up on shore, left everything and followed him.
I am not really much of a stuff person. So preparing to give things away and leave things behind, for the most part, hasn't been that hard for me. But yesterday we gave away the first of our three dogs. Abraham was my first dog to have since living on my own. He was my constant buddy while living all by myself here in Amory. So needless to say yesterday was a very sad day for me and for Rachel too.
But I will praise the Lord in this. We were very worried we weren't going to find homes for our dogs and would have to take them to the animal shelter. But over the past few weeks we have had so many leads and two of them have led to homes for Abe and Sheba. God is so good to prepare a way when you need it the most.
But all that to say I have come face to face with what it means to leave something you hold very dear to you behind, and know that this world and all of the things in it will pass away, including your favorite pet (sorry all you hardcore animal lovers). So, I fix my eyes on Jesus and press on knowing that the things that pass away because of this would fade and fail and pass away anyways.
Bye Abe..
