There we were...standing in rain and mud. It was time for "our boys," Boomer and Beethoven, to go outside. It could not be delayed. So out we went. Once we were back inside, I dried them off with a towel, loved on them and told them it was time to go "night, night." They went to sleep almost immediately.
As I settled in for the evening, I happened to look in the mirror. The rain had made my hair wild and wavy. My makeup was non-existent. My clothes looked like I had, of course, been standing out in the rain. I had to chuckle...and count my blessings.
We all have those friends...including our precious fur babies...who love us just as we are. We may have muddy hands, messy hair, wet clothes and bare faces...but they still love us. I am also reminded of the One Who loves me in the middle of messy moments, rainy days and stormy seasons. He is faithful and genuine. He claims me as His child and never walks away. He even loves me enough to hold me, cleanse me and carry me each step of this journey. I am amazed. I am grateful. I am never alone.<3~thl
