Reflections for K9 Koda
Lord God of unfailing love, to those families of our beloved nation, the United States of America, who are suffering in the wake of the loss of a Law Enforcement K-9 family member, Shot and Killed in the Line-of-Duty, help us to provide support. Allow us to be their rock and fortress in a time of immense pain and uncertainty. Help us to keep them safe and nourished in their time of grief, suffering beside them as we move toward healing and reconciliation. Lord God, in Your compassionate mercy, hear my prayer. Amen.
“Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.” [Matthew 5:4 ESV]

“For NOT ALL flesh is the same, but there is one kind for humans, another for animals, another for birds, and another for fish.” [1 Corinthians 15:39 ESV]
“Well done, good and faithful servant.” [Matthew 25:23 ESV]

There's lots of room in heaven
for the young and very old-
and those who are the heroes
who's stories should be told.
Each man and dog are given
a special job to do,
but cops need help from time to time
and someone to carry them too.
So God sends angels to the earth
for jobs that must be done
when man just can't accomplish
the task that has begun.
An officer, a soldier or maybe
just a friend,
dogs never fail where they've been sent
to care for those they tend.
God put His name on backwards
on life's spokes within the cog
Angels we've been blessed with -
Angels just spelled - dog.
You will Never Be forgotten RIP K9 Koda
