Redemption post : because we all need a break from wars and rumors of wars , riots , and the craziness going on π
Lila came to the farm about 5 years ago as a puppy , along with her siblings ( they were dropped off at our driveway ) Thankfully we found homes for the rest of them. I very strongly said " we are not keeping her " , yet here she sits 5 years later π
She was absolutely the worst puppy , she had more energy than any dog I have ever had . I eventually found a love for jogging because of her, So I guess that's a win .
She ate chickens , chased cats , and literally caused havoc on the farm.
We continued to work with her , continued to teach , and I continued to "lose my mind" on occasion with her ( I'm sure my neighbors heard me screaming at her when she would grab a chicken or a rabbit π)
But today she is able to run free on the farm , without a leash and even guards at night by herself . π³
Talk about redemption !!
While picking blueberries today i watched her calmness and attention as she watched for anything out of the ordinary .
I never would have thought she could be this wonderful.
She is such a drastic difference from her former self.
What a beautiful picture of what God's love looks like in our lives.
The redemption we receive through Christ is an overwhelming gift , saved from our former path , and set on his path . A path of abundant life .β€οΈ
Thankful for the reminder today of the beautiful work of redemption
