Most of us know of pigeons that return home. Some are used to carry messages. I happen to have a "homing dog" that carries messages.
The dog is a Poinsetter (not a Christmas dog, but his daddy was a pointer and his momma was a setter). Tux is a bird dog and he chases birds until its rains.
Last night, he broke out of our fenced yard and took off after birds. This has happened way too often, but we had a little help getting him home after a few hours... it started raining. And Tux came home (black dog with white chest).
Anyway, the dog reminded me of all the people that need to come home. Some are irresponsible parents, some are selfish children, some are just wandering without any sense of purpose, and some just need to check in before they launch out once again. (I know about this stuff because I have traveled down that road a few times).
Maybe God sent the weather. I guess even a dumb dog knows when to get out of the rain and come home.
