Today I heard the recounting of man and his son and dog walking along a river in Southern New Jersey on a cold winter's day. The river froze over as a matter of course in the winter and the trio would walk along the shore and the ice. On this particular day the ice gave way and the dog fell in. The man went into the river and saved the dog. He and his son took the dog home, warmed it and the dog lived on fine.
Weeks later when the three walked along the shore again, the man fell in. The dog saved him.
What a wonderful story. How appropriate for this season that we are entering into. A season of ultimate giving and love. Love is the perfect give, peace the perfect reason. Given in this way, the way the man gave to his dog and the dog to his master, it shines brightly like the Evening Star, guiding our hearts toward understanding and mutual respect.
