Feet and speak...

While taking care of our fur babies today, I enjoyed the usual hugs, kisses, playing and leading them inside or outside.  They are so enjoyable.  At one time, I noticed Boomer lying by my feet in such a content and peaceful state.  He seemed to have no other place to be than near me.  

During a "before bedtime break," Beethoven began barking at something in the dark.  I heard nothing and saw nothing.  Even Boomer didn't join the barking, so it seemed to be nothing of major concern.  Yet as soon as I said, "Calm, Beethoven" in my calm voice, his barking immediately ceased.  (I promise it doesn't always go that well.)  

I began thinking.  If our sweet twenty-three month fur babies have learned to be at peace with me, I can certainly find peace and assurance at the feet and words of the One Who knows me best and loves me most.  As long as I know He is with me...as long as I keep my focus on Him...as long as I cling to His promises...I know I can face the remainder of this journey.  May I never lose sight of His loving Presence and may I never forget His promised Peace.  I am amazed.  I am grateful.  I am never alone.<3~thl
