When my dog ran away
It was smoky in our house because we were cooking dinner. We opened the garage door to air the house out, and our family dog, Sobaka, ran off through the open garage door.
My family talked about God. Mom and Dad said we didn’t need to be afraid because God knew right where Sobaka was. But she was still missing after a few hours.
I have been learning the Lord’s Prayer in Sunday School (see Matthew 6:9–13). The Lord’s Prayer helps me remember that God is everywhere. I asked my family to pray the Lord’s Prayer together, and we did. I knew God was with Sobaka.
Soon after, someone found our dog in a deep pit with water and saved her! I was very happy to see Sobaka again. I was thankful to God for taking care of Sobaka. God protected Sobaka, and I am grateful for that.
