In the Bible, God called Joshua to fill in for Moses and to take a new land full of wild animals and huge enemies. Reading it this year, I was reminded of the paraphrased, kid-friendly version we did of what God said in Josh. 1:9
"DON'T BE AFRAID, AND NEVER GIVE UP; THE LORD YOUR GOD GOES WITH YOU WHEREVER YOU GO." Joshua 1:9
Well, it seems that little Miles (2 year old) was listening. On leaving a restaurant, we ran into a very big sheepdog of some variety. The owner was insisting that it was friendly, as almost all owners do, but Miles was convinced of 2 things. This was a wolf, and it wanted to eat him. Miles was afraid of that with Shorty, Umpa's little dog, as well, but, well, I won't go there.
Anyway, this dog stands up and it's pretty much nose to nose with little Mi-Mi. It IS a big dog! Then Miles went toe to toe, nose to nose, with that hairy beast. Wagging his finger in it's face, Miles firmly said, "NO EAT ME, WOLF!"
You go, Miles!
TAKE COURAGE, DON'T BE AFRAID, AND NEVER GIVE UP, THE LORD YOUR GOD GOES WITH YOU, WHEREVER YOU GO!
