My Husband, daughter and I were sitting on our deck when a flurry of activity in the sky started. We watched in amazement as an image of a dog? Appeared in the sky. What is so strange the image looks like my dog Chauncey who only moments before had burned up the yard running in circles. We were amazed at what we saw. I decided to paint a picture based on the image. As I painted it came to me that we are in strange and serious times. Although the Bible warns us of this, we don’t seem to believe it or understand it. God reaches out to us in all sorts of ways but it can be too supernatural for us to accept. In this painting, I think about the many times I sit and talk to my dog but he only opens his mouth wide and let’s out a “yip”. But when he wants to communicate with me he bumps my leg and walks to the door to go outside. Successful communication, message sent, understood and received/accepted. I believe we need to look up and listen to what God is communicating to us.
