In this devotional, you’ll not only find inspiring and heartwarming tales, but spiritual truths to touch your heart and remind you of God’s unfailing love, wisdom, and grace.

Наверное, нет ни одного владельца собаки, который мог бы похвастаться тем, что его питомец никогда и ничего съестного не подбирает с земли. Хозяева перебирают корма и модели намордников, но проблема не уходит — оставшись без присмотра, их любимец так и норовит отыскать ароматный, с его точки зрения, кусочек и полакомиться им, а некоторые собаки и вовсе выходят на прогулку как будто только для этого. И ладно бы такое поведение ограничивалось периодическим несварением, но ведь оно может стоить собаке жизни.
