Who doesn’t love the mental image of sitting on a porch in a rocking chair on a quiet sunny day, with an old dog at your feet? Old dogs should be cherished. After living their lives obeying their masters through good times and bad, they have proven their loyalty.It seems that lately we have had an influx of senior dogs. It breaks our hearts to see them sit in the shelter, confused and scared, with one eye always watching the kennel door for their master to come back.

Is your happiness based on faith or feeling? Thoughts or truth? Circumstances or Christ? The battle that wages within us for authentic joy is an intense one. Some days we find we are flying high, feeling good, having good thoughts and just enjoying our circumstances. But then our feelings change, our thoughts become muddled with questions, and our circumstances begin to dictate the course of our life. We live as foreigners to the abundant life we read about in John 10:10.
