Our family raises yellow Labrador retrievers. Recently Princess became mother to ten of the cutest little puppies you’ve ever seen. She’s never had that many puppies before so I was really curious to see how she would care for them.

Basically she spent the first day or so getting to know each of her puppies extremely well, making sure they all nursed enough, and keeping them clean and all systems functioning. Then after a day or so, after she knew each puppy well, she created two shifts of them. One group of five nursed while the other group of five slept. Then when it was time to change shifts—basically when the nursing group fell asleep—she got up and moved over to the other group and started nursing them.

Here’s what I heard as I listened to life with Princess—if a yellow Labrador retriever can know each of ten puppies that well and care for them that carefully, then how much better can your infinite, eternal God who created you care for you? Sure, there are a lot of us here, but God uniquely knows and cares for you as you listen to life and make a life, not just a living.
