This is my free coloring pages blog.
Today's new drawing is of Jesus with a doggy.
Jesus with a Doggy in the Woods
You often see drawings or paintings of Jesus with a lamb. We don't have a lamb, but we DO have a couple of doggies in our house. So I thought of Jesus saying that not one sparrow would fall to the ground without His Father's care. (Matthew 10:29) So, I figured Jesus loves animals, and considering how pet dogs and doggies are a big part of many people's lives, I figured that Jesus loves dogs too.
The type of dog pictured is a small, wavy-haired doggy. (I'll admit it looks like our pet micro-mini goldendoodle.) Although in Jesus' time on Earth, dogs were more working animals helping shepherds guard the sheep, etc. The Canaan dog was probably the most common. It had erect ears, was hardy, and was medium-sized. I suspect shepherds became bonded to their dogs. So, here is a coloring page of the Canaan Dog.
I am thinking about drawing a shepherd boy with his Canaan dog. I will also draw a shepherd girl with her Canaan dog. It turns out that girls and women were shepherds too - even in the time of Christ.
By the way, Jesus loves us the most of all. He died to pay the eternal price for our sins. Because of Him, we can one day return to live with our Heavenly Parents. We must repent of our sins and strive to do better. We must have faith in Jesus Christ and His atonement for our sins. We can even live eternally with our family from our Earth-life. We need to be baptized, receive the Holy Ghost, receive our Temple Blessings, and be sealed for time and all eternity to our spouse and children.
To learn more about this, feel free to look up The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. My wife and I served missions when we were younger, and thousands of or fellow-members are serving as missionaries now.
