Sunday Reflections - Come to the Table

Psalm 23:5-6

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

Our dog Chloe gets three pills in the morning and the evening for hypothyroidism and cushings disease. We give the pills to her wrapped in cheese to help her get them down.

Our cat Sarah has learned about the cheese and she often comes to get her share.


John 16:24
Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete.

Sarah asks and she receives because Betty is a generous person and loves all our animals.

Sometimes I need to be reminded that God loves me at least as much as Betty loves our animals.

Perhaps if I asked with the certainty of receiving from God as Sarah and Chloe do from Betty, I might receive even more from my heavenly Father.
