Dog on the Wall

My two-year-old niece had fallen asleep at her grandmother’s house. Her mother laid her on the bed in an uncle’s room which had multiple deer heads mounted on the wall. Some time passed, and the mother went to see why her daughter wasn’t up. She was found motionless, frightened eyes fixed on the trophies mounted in there. She whispered, “Mom, there are dogs on the wall and they’re watching me.”

There is so much to learn about life, and sometimes parents just can’t keep up. However, we are to instruct our children as best we can. You can never tell when frightening experiences will confront them.

2 Timothy 3:15 

And how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.

Give it some thought.
