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.
