Spring Renewal: What Dogs Teach Us About New Beginnings
As the flowers bloom and the days grow longer, spring reminds us that new beginnings are always possible. It’s a season of refreshment—of shaking off the cold and stepping into something bright and full of hope. And if there’s anyone who knows how to embrace the moment, it’s our dogs.
Our pups live with a joyful expectancy. They wake up excited for the same backyard, the same ball, the same morning walk—because for them, each day is brand new. They don’t carry yesterday’s worries or tomorrow’s unknowns. They simply are—present, faithful, and full of grace.
A Lesson in Grace
How often do we, as people, get stuck in the past or tangled in anxiety about the future? We forget that God has promised new mercies every morning (Lamentations 3:22-23). But our dogs? They offer us a beautiful example of what it looks like to live fully in today.
They forgive quickly. They love consistently. And they find joy in the little things—like sunshine on their fur, or the way you say their name.
That’s not just cute behavior. It’s a quiet, holy reminder:
You don’t have to carry what you carried yesterday. You’re allowed to begin again.
Spring as a Spiritual Reset
As we step into this new season, take a moment to pause. Let your dog lead the way.
Take a walk and actually breathe in the scent of spring air.
Watch how they chase butterflies or roll in the grass like it’s the best thing in the world.
Let that kind of presence remind you that today is enough.
Invite God into your spring. Ask Him to show you what needs to be refreshed—whether it’s your heart, your habits, or your hope.
