This morning we got to view a cartoon. It focussed on the relationship one has with his/her God and his/her dog. The similarity hi-lighted was that a person can mistreat his/her dog but will always be greeted with a wagging tail when one returns and changes one's treatment of the dog. The similarity with our relationship with God is that all one has to do to restore the relationship with God is return to the fold. An example: the parrable of the wayward son.
