DOG TURNED TEACHER OF LIFE

My dog has taught me an important lesson in this encounter.

I was in a car close to my house. The car was speeding at about 80kms per hour.

Suddenly, I saw my dog running so fast trying to overtake the car so that it could cross the road and welcome me home.

I was frightened that the car would overrun the dog. I was praying that the dog would increase its speed and cross the road safely. The car was fast approaching the dog.

I saw the dog suddenly increase its speed and was able to cross the road successful. Pheew, I sighed, thanking God it wasn’t hit by the car.
But, there is something I noticed that fell off before the dog suddenly increased its speed.

I need to see what fell off, so I decided to go check

When I saw what fell off, one of the greatest lessons sunk into my thick skull.

The dog let go of the BONE. (you know how precious bone is to a dog)

SIMPLE!!! it reached a point where the dog had to let go of the bone in order to gain speed and save its life.

As in the dog is SMART… I thought.

What’s the LESSON?

Let go of the bone.

There are so many types of bones which for sure have held us back.

Let’s drop them immediately.

Failure to seek new thoughts or new ways of doing things is a BONE

Doing things in the same unsuccessful manner, year in year out is a BONE

Thinking that money alone is the source of your happiness; that’s the HARDEST BONE

Going to work late and acting irresponsibly is a BONE

Not worshiping God, be it in a CHURCH or MOSQUE; that’s a tricky bone, even the hyena cannot handle.

Watching our friends fail; yet we could have helped them succeed… BONE

The list is endless

Bones lag us behind from reaching our God-destined potential.
