Olympic Doggie

Rueby Tuesday:

Reuben grabbed his first gold medal in the 100 meter doggie paddle on Friday. He is quite an impressive little doggie. In fact, Reuben seems to be very successful in all his endeavors and quite prosperous.

However, sometimes Reuben forgets about the truly important things in life. This world tells us that our worth depends upon our accomplishments and status.

But the people in our lives care more about our love for them than our medals. They would rather have our hearts than be impressed by our greatness.

Max Lucado writes:
"Paul had an interesting observation about the way we treat people. He said it about marriage, but the principle applies in any relationship. 'The man who loves his wife loves himself' (Eph. 5:28). There is a correlation between the way you feel about yourself and the way you feel about others. If you are at peace with yourself-if you like yourself-you will get along with others."

Only God can get us to like ourselves.
