Meet Petra!
She is an adorable little puppy that has found her way into my life. Petra was a puppy of a street dog, living on the street. My roommate Katie and I were talk about how we have been seeing a couple of street puppies on our way to work in the morning, so we decided to go see where they were living. When we found Petra, she was sitting in a garbage pile, trying to find something to eat. She is young, probably born during the first week of August (according to the vet), with scars on her head from some cuts she got a while back. We brought her home, cleaned her up, took her to the vet to get her first vaccine and de-worming, and gave her a new life. At first she was scared and tried to leave, but once she realized she was in a safe place, she became comfortable and now is happily living as a house dog. My roommates and I marveled at the similarities we saw between Petra’s life and our lives. Before becoming Christians, we lived out in the world, filling up our lives with garbage and thinking we are happy. Then Someone (Jesus) came along and rescued us from our life, cleaned us up, and took us to be with Him. Sometimes, we try to get away and go back to our old life, but once we realize that we are safe and in a good place, we can take joy that we were rescued and life a truly happy life!
