Wagging Wisdom

Written by Paul from Afternoons

Insights I’ve gained from Dolly, our 9-year-old, 15-pound Havipoo!

The suitcase comes out, keys get picked up, and before anything is said, Dolly already knows something’s happening.

Our little Dolly, with only a couple teeth left and that little tongue hanging off to the side, starts watching every move. If she’s coming along, she’s excited! But there’s always that moment at the door or in the car where she pauses… a little unsure, because she doesn’t actually know where she’s headed. 

And isn’t that just like you and me sometimes? We sense God moving us into something new, but we don’t get the full map. Just enough to trust the next step.

Proverbs 3:5–6 says, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.”

Dolly may not know the destination, but she trusts she’s not going alone.
