A rescue dog named Mishka waits for his owner to finish praying before he eats his food.
God loves when we thank Him for our blessings. Even our pets can learn to be part of these special moments.
A video shows Mishka patiently sitting in front of his food bowl as his owner prays: “Lord, thank You so much for this day, thank You so much for this life, thank You so much for this food.”
The owner continues her prayer. She asks God to bless the food. She prays, “I pray that this food blesses Mishka and nourishes Mishka and fills them up with an infinite amount of love. I pray this all in Jesus name, amen.”
Here’s where it gets sweet. Most dogs grab their food right away. But Mishka doesn’t move. He waits to make sure the prayer is finished. His owner says “amen” again. Only then does Mishka start eating.
The owner shared something beautiful about this routine. She prays over Mishka’s food every single time he eats. She wrote, “He won’t eat unless the food is blessed.”
This rescue pup has learned to wait for prayer. He trusts his owner. He knows the food needs to be blessed first.
We can learn from Mishka’s patience. When we stop to thank God for our food, we remember His care. He provides what we need each day. This simple routine reminds us that everything we have comes from God.
Maybe we rush through our days too fast. Maybe we forget to pause and give thanks.
Let Mishka inspire you to slow down today and thank God for His faithful provision in your life.
