Iva, my beautiful guide dog still amazes me with her care and caution when we walk. My husband watched Iva leading me across the church parking lot and then across the street. I thought she crossed without looking for traffic, but he saw her look both ways before crossing.
“She’s looking for the cut out.” He explained what Iva was doing. No reason to make mom step up. I praised my girl like one proud momma.
We hadn’t attended this church for too long. This was the first day I allowed Iva to lead me from the car to the door, because dogs don’t lead well in parking lots since their training teaches them to walk to the far left. You can see how that could become the long route rather than the direct one. I only gave the forward command, and she excelled at the entire route.
We make plans. We ask God to give us His plans. Lead me, Lord!
