“Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners—of whom I am the worst. But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his immense patience as an example for those who would believe in him and receive eternal life. Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen.” I Timothy 1:15-17 NIV
I truly cannot imagine any more of a joyful Christmas morning than finding a new puppy waiting to be loved; except, finding a Savior ready to love me. Famous did not come to me on a Christmas morning, but the summer morning I met him felt like Christmas. Here was this adorable, vulnerable bundle of precious love just wanting to always be with me, waiting to share my life. I could not say I was worthy of being the best master to a dog, but I had convinced myself I would give it everything I could. He was a present of which I would never tire and which would give back equally in turn.
The care and love I pour on Famous is a reflection of the gratitude I find in Christ’s gift of mercy to me. He has been patient with me throughout my life, guiding and protecting, and mostly forgiving. How could I not try to model such love for Famous?
