We can learn a thing or two from our dogs. They live simply, waiting for the next command, looking to us to guide them. They pay attention to their master. So should we.
These simple commands worked in my early sobriety and even today.
Drop it.
Leave it.
Come.
Sit.
Stay.
Wait.
Heel (Heal).
It’s a simple program, but it’s not easy. If we can take a lesson from dogs and pay attention to our Master, we will get the treat.
Just don’t quit five minutes before the miracle.
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
Matthew 11:28-30
