A Higher Calling




I love Petsmart because you often run into cute dogs. We had the good fortune to bump into a St. Bernard pup yesterday. He was very young, could not have been under 150 pounds, and was maybe a week or two old. One look at his paws and you knew that dog would one day need his own planet. I cannot look at St Bernards without picturing them in the Swiss Alps, a beer keg hung around their neck, on an errand of mercy to find and revive avalanche victims. We begged the owner to let us pet the puppy, and I telepathically discussed with him the great and noble purposes of his breed. After whispering,"God speed you on your future of mercy!" we went on our way. But I saw the pup sit up a little taller, perk his floppy ears a little perkier as he thought about my reminder of what he was bred to do.
"A higher calling", thought the pup, "there is more to life than just slobber. I am destined to help others."

1 Timothy 5:10 (NIV)
and is well known for her good deeds, such as bringing up children, showing hospitality, washing the feet of the Lord’s people, helping those in trouble and devoting herself to all kinds of good deeds.
