WHAT TINA’S TALES ARE:

TINA’S TALES are short stories about our Terrier rescue mix. In addition, I’ll be pleasuring you with stories about other great dogs, or even other fur babies of different species. God has designed so many beautiful ones!

Friends, people have a great ability to love and are therefore always enamored by beauty! And dogs are beautiful! They definitely have a purpose which God has given them: some hunt, some protect, some only and always provide unfaltering companionship! They smile, they grin, they speak to you with waves from their tales! God created them for His pleasure and shares them with us! And like us, when they die, they do go to their Creator, Who still loves them!

Selah.

And then there are some who are too dangerous to live…

Selah.

IT IS INTERESTING TO NOTE: animals that kill people are judged… Don’t keep a dangerous dog!

 

Genesis 9:4-6
“But you must not eat meat that has its lifeblood still in it.  And for your lifeblood I will surely demand an accounting. I will demand an accounting from every animal. And from each human being, too, I will demand an accounting for the life of another human being. “Whoever sheds human blood, by humans shall their blood be shed; for in the image of God has God made mankind.

 

Selah.

 

Genesis 1:30
And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground-everything that has the breath of life in it – I give every green plant for food.”  And it was so.”

 

Genesis 2:7
the LORD God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.

 

Genesis 6:19-20
You are to bring into the ark two of all living creatures, male and female, to keep them alive with you.  Two of every kind of bird, of every kind of animal and of every kind of creature that moves along the ground will come to you to be kept alive.

 

Genesis 7:2-3
Take with you seven of every kind of clean animal, a male and its mate, and two of every kind of unclean animal, a male and its mate, and also seven of every kind of bird, male and female, to keep their various kinds alive throughout the earth.

 

Psalm 36:6
Your righteousness is like the highest mountains, your justice like the great deep. You, Lord, preserve both people and animals.

 

Psalm 104:21-22
The lions roar for their pretty and seek their food from God. The sun rises, and they steal away; they return and lie down in their dens.

 

Isaiah 11:6-9
The wolf will live with the lamb, the leopard will lie down with the goat, the calf and the lion and the yearling together; and a little child will lead them. The cow will feed with the bear, their young will lie down together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox. The infant will play near the cobra’s den, and the young child will put its hand into the viper’s nest. They will neither harm nor destroy on all my holy mountain, for the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.

 

Romans 8:18-23
I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.  The creation waits in eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed.  For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the glorious freedom of the children of God.  We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time.  Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies.

 

 

TINA ATTACKED!

I never told you this: I remember to do so now… It’s really good!

We’ve had Tina for quite a while at this point… Time with my fur babies could always be longer; and it will. I will see them all in Heaven!

That being said, I want to tell you what Satan said verbatim after having Tina a very short time. Hang on, it’s fascinating! It’s fascinating how extremely dumb Satan is!!

You see, Duane and I were used to Pugs. We’ve had six over many years! And Pugs are like plugs – fire plugs. They are gorgeously short and squatty! They are tremendously joyous creations God has personally fashioned! We love Pugs! In fact we love all dogs but only have a chosen few. There is not enough time on Earth to love and cuddle and keep as your very own fur babies every dog breed…

When we got Tina (a Terrier mix) Riley, our female black Pug, had died. Rocky was still with us (a fawn-colored male.) We knew Rocky, as a typical Pug, would immediately be pleased to have a new girl to play with. And boy, did he! But, he soon realized she (being a totally different breed) tired him out! Terriers are highly energetic, demanding, and totally irresistible! Everyone should love dogs! God made them!

Remember? I had said, I want to tell you what Satan said verbatim…?

Here it is: “She’s ugly! She looks like a long, skinny rat!!!”

I take joy – and authority – over rebuking that evil entity! Indignant and extremely angry with the father of lies; I shot back: “She is not! She’s beautiful!” And I’ve been saying it ever since! And she is!

Satan hates everything God made for His glory!

Selah.

My prayer for this Fur Baby Story is to remind you to take authority over the enemy of your soul: fight back and win! He is defeated! And he always lies!

Love your fur babies, feather babies, and yes, even your scaley babies like Christ Jesus!

Tina rocks!

 

 

SCRIPTURAL TRUTHS FROM THIS JOY STORY:

 

 

Job 12:7-10
“But ask the animals, and they will teach you, or the birds in the sky, and they will tell you; or speak to the earth, and it will teach you, or let the fish in the sea inform you. Which of all these does not know that the hand of the Lord has done this? In his hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind.

 

James 4:7-10
Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.  Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.  Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom.  Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.

 

John 8:42-44
Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love me, for I have come here from God. I have not come on my own; God sent me.  Why is my language not clear to you? Because you are unable to hear what I say.  You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.
