My puppy Bella is a very persistent dog. She has this toy we call her egg. Bella can run after this egg for hours; she never gets tired. She runs her day based on playing with this toy. Every day before lunch, after lunch, at about 4:00, and after dinner she sits at the cabinet where the egg is kept. And if we don't come over to play right away she will come up to us (whoever seems to be the best pick to throw it for her..usually Daddy) and will sit next to us and paw....and paw...and paw. Then when we finally get up and ask her if she wants to play she gets sooo excited and starts jumping around. But Bella refuses to give up until someone plays with her. So here are some lessons that can be learned from this in applying them to our Christian life.
Persistance
Eager anticipatation
Taking initative
Faith
Unyielding hope
Going the extra mile to get something
Patience
Joy
Excitement
Stick-to-it-ness
And...I'll add to the list: never underestimate the power of a cute face and big blue eyes. Oh...and find a workout routine that you actually look forward to and NEVER want to stop doing ;-)
Much Love <3
