Taking a break from my continued story to share this True Story
at "Tell me a True Story."
My Continued Story will resume soon.
LUKE |
We got this Black Lab dog, that ain’t
much of a dog.
But the thing is he don’t
know that he ain’t much account.
He likes to sit with me on
our porch. He also enjoys following me
around in the yard and back again to the porch.
He just goes about and does
what the other dogs do, and acts like he was just as good as the rest of them. The other dogs put up with him cause they
don’t care one way or the other whether he is good or not.
The thing is he considers
himself to be the best of the lot. To
him if he has any short comings, that only means he is special, and better that
the rest of the pack.
If any of the other dogs said
to him you don’t measure up to the rest of us, he would just ignore them, and
go right on as if they didn’t exist.
While the others go about
solemn, doing their job, he does his job and is happy, and has fun while doing
it.
Try as they may, so far they
haven’t made him live according to their standards they have set up for them-selves. For Little Lukey, as it were marches to his
own woof, woof.
Sometimes I think that dumb
dog is smarter than me. He doesn’t let
anyone or anything stifle his creativity, and he is making the most of what he
has got. He follows his own rules but
hurts no other dogs in the process and is happy while doing it.
Should he do things like the
other dogs he would surly be a failure but he is his own man, err dog.
When David volunteered to
fight Goliath, King Saul tried to equip David with his armor, but David refused
it and used his own God given weapons to destroy the giant.
In life it is needful to know
thyself and be true to yourself and to your God, for then, and only then will you have success.
