He who rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. Rom 13:2
Mommy says I am incorrigible. She says it because I won’t listen to her. I
chew up carpet, shoes, and baby toys. What can I say – it is fun. If they leave
a door open, I run outside and dare them to catch me. You have no idea what it
feels like to streak through vacant lots, across streets, and in lakes. I bark –
at stars, airplanes, geese, animals, and even the fog. Barking is the only way
I have to express my joy, fear, or interest. I refuse to walk quietly on a
leash and have been known to pull Mommy down. Is it my fault if I am stronger
than her? I don’t like it when Mommy has her prayer time because she ignores me
so I’m especially bad then. If I bark loud enough, she will eventually get out
of her prayer chair and give me attention. I also steal food. I climb up on the
table and stand up to counters to snatch anything I can find. Daddy says he isn't fast or smart enough to be be my daddy. What that means
is that I stay in trouble all the time with Mommy and Daddy.
They have tried to teach me. They took me to puppy school. I
know what the words mean but those silly words are meant to stop me from having
fun. They have tried everything to stop me from chewing and barking. Squirt guns,
shock collars, bottles filled with pennies, newspaper, and the word no don’t
scare me at all. I have to admit that the muzzle stops me from barking and chewing but
I know a secret – Mommy and Daddy feel guilty for using it so I’m not really
worried. Mommy says I am the strongest willed dog she has ever had.
Here is the thing – I am tired of being in trouble all the
time. I know Mommy and Daddy are supposed to be the boss but I want to do what I want. Mommy said according to the the Bible, if I am rebelling against authority, I am rebelling against God. That can't be good. I heard Mommy and Daddy talking and they say I am getting a
little better but they still don't think I'm ready to be a Missionary Dog. I hope they are right that I'm getting better. I do want to be a Missionary Dog. I also like it when they cuddle with me or give me treats. The
problem is that I don’t like cuddling and treats as much as I like chewing, barking, escaping,
and stealing food. Would you pray for me?
Dear SWEET Shiloh- Your Momma and Daddy did well to give you such a beautiful name; it means a place of PEACE. With your mountain of shenanigans, they are now going to need to apply more scripture over your life! Sounds like a job for Supa natural Momma! The Word given to us humans for such a child as you, starts with Mark 11: 22 and tells us to have God's kind of faith - for WHOSOEVER shall SAY to this mountain, be removed and cast into the sea, and not DOUBT in their heart, but BELIEVE that those things which you SAY SHALL come to pass, they shall HAVE WHATSOEVER things they SAYETH. Jesus says to be an imitator of HIM. He calls those things that are not as though they ARE. I believe, as Mommy and Daddy call those things that do not YET exist in your personality, that good traits will overcome the bad ones! You Shiloh, are sweet, obedient and full of joy and peace! Our Heavenly Father has given you to be a Blessing to all you come in contact with! I rebuke bad words against you, and command The Blessing of our Lord to show up on you every where you go! In the city, in the country, going in or going out! You ARE a BLESSING and you bring blessings to everyone, including your Mom and Dad! And because of the destruction, I know our Heavenly Father will see to it that the enemy behind it all has to return the items destroyed 7 fold! (that's Biblical too!). Love from your friends Fuzzy, Hunta and Katie ( in NH)
