Day Six – Man and Animal
On the first day of creation, God created the heavens and the earth. On the second day he created the heavens. On the third day he created the seas. On the fourth day he created the sun, moon and stars. On the fifth day he created the birds and the fish. On the sixth day he created man and the animals.
God created man and woman to help each other. Before the conflict began, peace reigned in the garden and all was at rest. In that short period, two people were able to experience what no one else has since. Imagine a world without conflict or lack of anything.
Adam was to name all the animals and was given a wife who would become the mother of them all. Every day was a new learning. I guess they have to interact with wild animals and not get hurt. The garden must have been the most beautiful place on earth.
For each of us, there was probably a time before things went wrong when we were happy. Sometimes we make mistakes through unwise choices, and sometimes events beyond our control cause us to stumble.
What would it take to return to the original state? The first is to draw near to God. You don’t have to go it alone. The second is to surround yourself with positive people. The third could be caring for a pet.
Thank God for the pet in your life today. It can be a dog, cat, horse, bird or fish. I had a chihuahua. She was sweet as could be. As cute as she was, she had an ear piercing bark. When she was young she also had a bite to draw blood. Those little teeth were very sharp. I had to take her to practice when I got her. I learned the hard way and finally figured things out.
When my husband was gone, at least I had my dog as a companion. I never had to be alone or afraid. She was like my child. I felt guilty for being away from her. I specially got a small dog that I can travel with. I never took her on a plane because she barked at everyone and they got mad at me. But I traveled with her by car whenever possible. When we moved we had to find a new home for her. God provided the perfect fit.
Our previous dog was a Bichon Frize that we loved very much. She got into the Easter baskets and died of chocolate poisoning. These little creatures were part of the family.
