Wounds to love...

Recovering from recent accidents, I have been wearing a knee brace.  I didn't think much about it when I was outside with Boomer and Beethoven one evening until I recognized their curiosity.  Each precious fur baby had to sniff the brace that runs several inches above and below my knee.  After getting them inside for the evening, I sat down to rest and sing to them.  After Beethoven kissed me goodnight, I noticed Boomer kept sitting nearby and sniffing the brace again.  Soon, he found the round opening over my knee and very gently began licking my skin below it.  I began thinking.

If our four-legged fur babies notice and try to soothe a wounded leg, it certainly makes sense that we should become more aware of, and responsive to, one another's hearts, lives, wounds and needs.  We live in a world that is obviously starving for authentic and active love.  What opportunities lie before us in this time of broken lives, broken societies and a broken world as we not only claim to love Him...but live it and share it!<3~thl

"A new command I give you:  Love one another.  As I have loved you, so you must love one another.  By this everyone will know that you are My disciples, if you love one another."  John 13: 34>35
