“Praise the Lord, for the Lord is good; celebrate his wonderful name with music.” Psalm 135:3 NLT
I have found a connection to my dog through music. Music has always been a part of my life and my worship. But until I brought Famous home, I did not realize it could also be a tool for creating a bond to this wonderful creature.
On the day we met, as I was packing him into his new crate, five hours from what would become his new home, his breeder began to tell me he would cry and yelp for about thirty minutes. “Did you bring earplugs?” she asked. I could only think of the distressed look in the eyes of the pup’s mother as I carried away the last of her precious bundles.
Driving down the long driveway of the farm all I could hear were his ear-piercing cries for help against this sudden abduction. I decided to switch on the radio and began to sing amidst the din he was making. Amazingly, in minutes he settled into a soft whimper and then a quiet slumber for the remainder of the trip.
In my journey of faith, music has always been an integral component of worship. This gift that so enables me to connect with the loving Father has now become a means to connect with my loving pet.
Today I celebrate all gifts which come from above.
