Feed the Right Dog

Fact: If two dogs are in a fight, the bigger one will win. The one that has been fed more abundantly has the advantage. The one that is starved won't have a chance.

I've spent the past five days on an emotional rollercoaster. Emotions of anger. Sadness. Pain. Going up and down, from moment to moment, grieving.

I know there is still grief work to do. I know there will be more days of sadness and anger and pain but a wise man once taught me that our emotions are responders.

I intend to feed the right dog. I intend to engage my brain cells to think rightly.

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Finally brethren...whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things." Phil 4:6-8

I miss my Chihuahua. Twice she chased a Great Dane from our front yard. Funny picture.
