I want to be a dog

Today I was over at Randy & Karen Kellenberger's helping plant some trees. They have two dogs named Annie and Einstein, rather mischievious critters, I must say. Einstein was constantly over by us picking up tools, pulling sticks out of the ground - anything to be at where his master is, taking part in the action. And he did this when he could have been burying bones, or rolling around. So, I had this thought.

Wouldn't it be great if Christians were like Einstein (the dog)? What if we would put aside our preoccupations, such as accumulating treasure to bury in the ground, or rolling in the mud of sin, and instead FIND OUR JOY, CONTENTMENT, AND DESIRE in being with God where He is working? Willing to do anything to be with God in His prescence and be used by Him? Imagine what would happen. Realize this could happen. Wow. Imagine the revolution, the revival that would take place. Remember, this has happened before. Through Christ, we can make it happen again. I want to be like Einstein.
