"Asleep" in a Manger. . . . . . . .

do you ever feel as if you just need a soft place to rest your head?

a safe shelter?

i think we all probably take shelter for granted sometimes.

i know i do.

but this little guy knew a soft, safe place to rest his head

when he saw it.

here's the story. . . .

they say dogs are very instinctual.

and this homeless dog instinctively knew to curl up in the
 safest place he found. 

the place he found to rest was in a manger scene, 

set up in a church courtyard

in a small town in Brazil.

when he was found the next morning, 

no one had the heart to move him. 

"All creatures great and small. . . . . . .

the Lord God made them all".

i don't think you need to be as big a dog lover as i am to see the
sweetness and innocence in this.
i certainly hope i didn't offend anyone.
although, i'm not sure how i could, but if i did, i didn't mean to.
i simply think that a poor, homeless dog. . . . . . .
looking for a safe place to rest his head. . . . .
found the perfect place.

i hope and pray this Christmas season
that you will always find that soft, safe place
with our savior, Christ the Lord.
