Blog Post 21 Porter

​Hi everyone, my name is Porter, I live with Cheryl and Perley and I am a proud member of the St. Matthew by the Lake Pet Family. ¬†Cheryl and Perley care for many of us pets and we are not all kitties. As you can see by my pick, I am a dog. Cheryl and Perley include dogs in their pet family just like St. Matthew by the Lake includes all kinds of pets and people in its family. God includes many more kinds of creatures and people in God‚Äôs family.¬† We are all sizes, shapes, and colors which makes for a truly amazing family of God.
I almost forgot, I am the chief guard dog here at my house which might surprise some of you if you look at my size.  I am not a big German Shepherd like Mia or Zoe but I can still stand guard for Cheryl and Perley.  It is not always our physical size that equips us for guard duty.  God gives strength to us all and our faith is what matters most especially since it too is a gift from God.  Jesus says in Matthew 17:20 “…For truly I tell you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.”
