I had an enlightening and humorous experience walking my
dogs this morning. It was a crisp, Spring day full of life
and energy. My four dogs seemed to feel it as well. Each one
of them was delightfully sniffing the air and bouncing
around me as we walked. Then as I was about to head back
toward the house with them our Saint Bernard, Buddy and our
tiny Labrador mix, Pepper both decided that it was the
perfect time for a game of chase. Before I knew it my legs
were wrapped up tight with the dog leashes from these two
running in circles around me. Thankfully, I was able to drop
the leashes before I ended up on the ground. As I bent down
to pick up the leashes again, however, my tiniest dog, Julie
decided to give me a little help. She grabbed Buddy??™s leash
in her mouth and headed for the door. I looked on with
laughter as my 10 pound Pekinese Poodle walked our 160 pound
Saint Bernard back home. In addition to giving me a good
laugh this sight also got me to thinking. If a little dog
like that can take the leash of a giant sized one and lead
him in the right direction then there is no reason why all
of us can??™t take the leash on our own lives and start
walking them on the path of love and joy again. Sure we may
have huge problems, large struggles, and massive
difficulties in our lives, but if we let that smart, little
dog that is our soul take the lead they will all fall behind
us. That smart, little dog will lead our hearts, minds, and
lives right where they need to go. That smart, little dog
will lead us back home to joy, love, and God.
Let your soul lead you in the right direction then and
all of your life will follow you happily.? Let your soul
walk you down the path of love, joy, and oneness with God
and your journey home will always be a delightful one even
if you do get tangled in the leash from time to time.
