I haven't been on the best terms with God in recent years. I've questioned things and even though I "understand" his reasoning on certain things, I still don't like some of the results. People suffering, dying, kids homeless, etc. It's a very hard lesson.
So, my dog Cody is now about to die. He developed a tumor in his pelvis making it harder and harder to go to the bathroom. It happened fast in just the past few weeks. We basically decided he needs to be put down, and we are going to do that later today.
One of Cody's favorite things was finding froggies in our pool filter. All summer, the filter was empty. No froggies. But, today, on his last day, I took him outside and, one last time, we went to look for froggies.
I thought in my mind, if there is a God, and he loves us, then there will be a froggie in there today. I opened the filter cover and there, staring up at me, was a froggie. I lost it. It's even hard for me to type this right now. But, Cody found one last froggie. He was thrilled. He doesn't hurt them, he just loves to watch them jump around and chase after them.
So - damn. What does that all mean?
