a dog comes to the rescue
A chapter in the book Sparks of Faith Ignited
God's Unusual Servant
by Joyce Crowe
Discarded and left for dead There seemed to be no hope. God’s heart was filled with dread, another child couldn’t cope. Sadly, He shook his head This gift was sent with the hope That at last, she might be lead to throw away the dope, receive love and joy, instead. Despite the disappointment He would not forsake this babe. He set a divine appointment For his servant, named Gabe. Gabe had a special anointment She had recently birthed a babe Or two, by divine appointment. A loving dog was this Gabe. She was never a disappointment. So, as she was walking one day Through the woods, she heard a sound. The babe that had been thrown away could barely be heard, by the hound. True to her nature, she did obey her mother’s instinct, and found a way to rescue this babe. She scooped her up and with a bound, gently carried her to a safe place. She gave the babe a spot to rest between two furry companions, who scooted and graciously accepted this different but precious addition to their family, upon mom’s request. God smiled with reckless abandon. Her masters would surely be blessed and this child would have their devotion. Now that her job was done, Gabe could rest. |
