Blessing of the Animals

Jake sitting on my knee eagerly waiting to arrive at the church.

This morning was The Blessing of the Animals at our church. Jake was happy to be among so many dogs all at one time and Deacon Eric sprinkled him with a good dose of holy water!
"The animals of God's creation inhabit the skies, the earth, and the sea. They share in the fortunes of human existence and have a part in human life. God, who confers his gifts on all living things, has often used the service of animals or made them symbolic reminders of the gifts of salvation."

 Jake was happy. I think he went up to every dog to say hello.
