What Are We Teaching?
Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on Aug 22, 2025 (message contributor)
WHAT ARE WE TEACHING OTHERS?
I recently heard the story of a German shepherd that was expecting little ones. She ran out in front of a car and injured her back legs. The doctor said she would heal but it would take a long time. The dog had her litter of puppies.
When their eyes were open, the mother loved the puppies. As the mother walked she would drag her hind legs behind her and pull with her front legs. The owner observed the puppies as they learned to get around. All of the puppies were dragging their rear legs. The owner feared they had been injured in the accident. The vet x-rayed them and he found there was nothing wrong with them. They had full use of their rear legs. The vet explained, they watched their mom drag her rear legs and their actions were learned by observing the momma German shepherd. WHAT EXAMPLE OF FAITH ARE WE TEACHING?
