We are dog-sitting for my sister this week while she is at camp. This morning while I was getting ready her dog stared intently at the closed door out of our bedroom.
Behind her was a room with toys, her bed, food, water - even another dog to play with. But she couldn’t get her focus off the closed door.
So many times I find people living their lives focused on the door that is closed. Never mind the opportunities, relationships, dreams - even limitless potential that surrounds them. All they can focus on is one closed door.
We all have doors in our lives that have closed - the real question is: Do we know what God has unleashed around us, or are we focused on the door?
that’s a great question, Steve, and that dog pic is perfect! How can yo not feel sorry for that little fella?!?
We’ll all have moments when we feel like a lonely dog that someone has left behind. And sometimes it may be just what we need to give us perspective, and just be what the “Doctor” ordered. But when it starts to linger and we become inward about it all, it can have a really damaging victim mentality set in.
