This is Patience, our beagle, and Georgie our kitten.
Patience is bigger than Georgie, stronger than Georgie and louder than Georgie. Patience was here before Georgie. And that is Patience's bed, not Georgie's. In every way, Patience has the power and the privilege to claim that bed.
But here, Patience is exercising a more awesome power. The power to defer--the privilege to be meek.
O.k....so, they're animals. I know. The world would be a better place if it was as easy to catch a picture of people behaving so well.
...but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.

"the privilege to be meek." Do you know how meaningful this, and your post about your animals, is for me right now. The Scripture is timely. Thank you, GB. :)
YOUR BEAGLES NAME IS PATIENCE!!??!?! Thats brilliant! :)
Isn't is amazing how some people believe meekness is weakness, when in reality it is an attitude full of power and self control.
Good post.
Philippians 2:3b- great Scripture. A virtue sorely lacking today- esteeming others better than ourselves. Thanks for the reminder, GB. And as usual, love the visual!
I love animals! They are soothing to the soul-most of the time.
They also can be used to bring to light some good Bible truths.
Thanks for another great post.
Great object lesson! And what a neat photo!
I love this post. How true.
What a great photo. :-) And a good reminder...
I wanted to tell you how much I'm enjoying your Playlist.
Yesterday I put it on and listened to it while I made dinner and this afternoon I've been listening to it while I scrapbook! It's a wonderful list...
Aren't they cute?
I am totally wishing I could teach a lesson as well as you can.
Pardon me while I go repent of my envy.
