Recently, whle driving into work on a busy state highway, I saw a dog inside the fence of a farm......just waiting there, and watching all the cars go by.

He would watch each one, turning his head from left to right...and then look at the next car. 

THE IMPRESSION I HAD WAS THIS:

He was waiting for HIS MASTER's car......he was waiting for HIS MASTER......his LORD..... to COME BACK.

To come home.....to come BACK for him.......

And it hit me....

I.....AM.....THAT......... DOG......

I ......AM......THAT......FAITHFUL (yet imperfect)  SERVANT........

I KNOW MY LORD IS COMING BACK...

I KNOW THE SIGNS TO BE LOOKING FOR...

HE TOLD ME WHAT TO BE WATCHING FOR....

AND I KNOW 'the time' TO BE EXPECTING HIM......

SO...I AM WAITING FOR HIM......

Ya.....every now and then, I chase the wrong car......the wrong sign....I "hang on that sign" too much and begin to think how IMMINENT His return MUST be...... and then I wait some more....

Still watching the signs....watching for HIS RETURN....for ME...... 

And I know by the signs........HIS RETURN IS........VERY SOON!!

TICK TOCK......BARK!

YFIC,
