When Julie and Jimmy Johnson experienced a home invasion in early May, they weren’t frightened like most couples would be. Even after the invader walked into their bedroom and got into their bed, they didn’t even notice, at least not at first.

That’s because the invader was a dog named Nala, who had wandered in from her own home two miles away. Julie says the couple is accustomed to dogs sleeping in their bed, because they live with three dogs of their own. These dogs normally bark incessantly at any incoming animal or person, according to Julie, but for some reason Nala’s presence didn’t spark a response.

Confused by the snuggling newcomer, Julie resorted to posting a photo on Facebook. She wrote, “This is the weirdest post I have ever had to make. Is this your dog?” Eventually Julie was contacted by Nala’s owner, who came to retrieve her super chill, snuggly intruder. In a subsequent post, Julie updated her followers on the situation: “Her name is Nala and her mom is on the way to get her. Good luck getting her out of my bed.”

Possible Preaching Angle:

Believers should always be ready to model God’s unconditional love to others, including those from outside our household or community. God's unconditional love transcends normal boundaries of household.
