Gabbi

All she ever wanted was to be with me or Kevin.  Mostly me.  She was most content curled up at my feet, by my side in bed, or even better, on my lap.  When she was younger she loved to play with her toys, stuffed animals I bought at garage sales but most especially loved it when I or Kevin played with her.  My point is that I was her life.  I will never know a truer, purer or deeper love from a mortal being.  And the only thing I can think of is how I wish I felt that way about the Lord.  I wanna be a Mary.  I keep my life so busy (mentally more than physically) in an effort to avoid any personal time with God.  I don't know why I do that!!  It's so frustrating to me because in my mind I KNOW that improving my relationship with the Lord will improve my life in every conceivable way! Not to mention the overwhelming peace and joy I'll experience as a result of just sitting at His feet.

We can learn a lot about how to be better Christians (humans) from observing how dogs lives are totally wrapped up in their masters.  I WANT TO BE TOTALLY WRAPPED UP IN JESUS!  I NEED TO BE TOTALLY WRAPPED UP IN JESUS!

I may be over analyzing this too much but I know I'm not where I should be.  I also know that the Lord in His infinite mercy and pure, true and deep love takes me as I am.
So today I'm grateful for

1.  Knowing what true, pure and deep love is
2.  Having experienced it and learned it from Gabbi
3.  Having experienced it and am continuing to learn it from God
4.  All these places my brain takes me
5.  Understanding what "the wonders of His Love" means

Later,
