This could end up being a bit of a strange post, but stay with me. Hopefully it makes some sense in the end.
The past 3 nights I had the fun experience of dog-sitting for some friends that were out of town. I was blessed with two precious pups, named Fella and Roadie. I miss animals so much, and have always wanted inside dogs (and I've never had them) so being able to watch Fella and Roadie was super fun! Roadie is just an all around good dog who is well behaved and super sweet. Fella is a sometimes little devil but when he gives you those eyes and licks your face off, it's adorable and you can't help but love him. Two nights ago, I was laying in bed journaling, and the dogs totally made me think of something.
Dogs are kind of like a tangible (not really the word I'm looking for, but I think you know what I'm getting at) representation of God's love for us...
...told you it was going to get kind of strange.
Every single time I came home the dogs were waiting for me anxiously and were genuinely happy to see me. Not just happy, but out-of-this-world excited. Once they got over themselves, they would just constantly be around me-following my every move and not leaving my side because they wanted to be around me. I wish that I could be like that with my relationship with God!
That my quiet time would not be something that I should do because my head knows that it's good for me but instead be something that my heart yearns for. That I would be out-of-this-world excited for the time I get to spend with our heavenly Father. That I might realize how precious that companionship is and want to develop it and grow it. I am almost never like that. Sometimes I just wish I could be a dog...
Yep..turned out kind of strange, but that's what's been on my heart lately. You all know I'm a little strange anyways so it shouldn't be too surprising.
Miss you guys more than you know...
