Hey boys an girls!
All y’all ever git into any
bad habits? I know sometimes when things are different fer a while,
theys eezy
to git all filled with all manner o’ bad habits and ideas. Like when
y’all been
outer skool fer a while an yer fergot whut it was like to go get on the
big
yeller bus and to git ter charch an’ stuff like ‘at. Summertime is when
you git
to digging under the backyard fence an’ skweezin’ under to taste the
neighbor’s
sweet garbidge fer a change ain’t it?
But lucky fer us, the Master
calls us back before we kin git truly lawst! God has so many ways of
callin’ us
back to his presence. Dawgs know it! But whut if you didn’t heer the
Master, or
didn’t bother to listun er even wurs, wut if yall didn’t know the
Master’s
voice? Why then you might go a runnin’
off after evry little thang that grabs yer fancy – thinking
it was the Master’s
call! Imagin if everything y’all liked wuz callin to yer. Good
garbidge, slow
cats, cute dawgs, loud cars… the list kin git pretty lawng! But those
things
isn’t the Master, an’ if you didn’t know His voice, all y’all might be
lost
forever!
But the Good Book sez: “My
sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow
My friends, y’all
got ta
know what the Master sounds like when he calls. Y’all got ta follow Him
an’
he’ll keep you safe. ‘Dawg days’ is
ovur. Cool weathr is bak. The Master is callin’ yoo to git bak in th’
yard, git
bak in th’ house.
Downt git
snatched outer th’ Master’s hand by sumthin’ that just ain’t as
importunt as hearin’ his voice!
Adios Amigoes!! – see y’all
in church!!
