Lessons from a Pup- toy vs toy giver

Sweet Ellie pup is such a good teacher about my own shortcomings. The other day I let her out and instead of running to me, she ran right to a toy she wanted to play with. 

It was a reminder of how I do the same thing with God. I often run to the created thing for the momentary happiness instead of the creator. Instead of to the giver of the gift, the one who can make more, I pick the limited created thing.

I am grateful that the Holy Spirit teaches us lessons in all things and how Ellie shows me a picture of myself sometimes.
