One of the great joy of living in O’Fallon is the beautiful parks. Our community is blessed with many wonderful places that one can enjoy a variety of outdoor activities. The park I use the most is called Rock Springs but some would refer to it as the dog park. It is very dog friendly. Early each morning I take my loyal companion, Pablo, out there for a good morning walk. It may be just my imagination but I think Pablo loves it, too.
Rock Springs has a path to walk your dog and even a play area where dogs can run off leash and play with other dogs. As I was walking my dog this morning I noticed that some vandalism had taken place. Bird houses were not only knocked down but demolished. The ‘doggy bag’ dispenser was smashed. And the lovely ‘Cabin’ on the property had windows broken. My heart was a bit broken. How could anyone do such things?
Reflecting on all of this I wonder if God’s heart is a bit broken by the way we treat the earth and all its resources? I need to keep pondering more about this as I stroll through the park with my faithful friend, Pablo.
February 15th, 2011 at 7:08 pm I share your disappointment over the vandalism. I appreciate how your reflection helps me to relate this action to my own actions and attitudes.
