Psalm 121:3,7-8
3He will not let your foot slip—he who watches over you will not slumber;
7The Lord will keep you from all harm—he will watch over your life;
8the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore
Look at sweet Penny Lane above watching over the newest member of the Don and Val Brinker family, their grandson, little Carter. Whether Carter is awake or sleeping, Penny is watching over him. Animals can be very tender caregivers with the young and, indeed, all ages. Penny is just that.
Take careful note of Penny’s diligence and know that she is modeling what we can be to others. And sometimes we don’t even need to use words.
The psalmist has provided the words of God’s love for us.
Read.
Pray.
Do.
I’m sure Val might let you visit with Penny if you need to understand more. Just know, you’re going to have to be a reader of dog eyes. Call your God first, then Val. She and Penny both see and know deeply the mercies and blessings that God provides us each day.
Thank you, Penny, for being a teacher as well as a model for us. Your patience is amazing as is God’s. Take heart, Devotioneers!
