My little reminder...

So, some of you will never understand this feeling, but I wish you could. The feeling of loving something so much it hurts. You feel tears coming if you start to think about being without this special creature that fills your heart with unconditional love. My special creature is my dog Chewy. I don't think anyone besides another dog obsessed owner could understand this love. He gives WAY more to me then I ever could to him. When I'm feeling beaten & broken by daily life, I come home to my little ball of joy, who only wants to be with me. He's content with watching me make dinner, sleeping beside me on the couch, or playing with his toy. He follows me everywhere and gets very upset when I leave him for any random amount of time. If I yell at him for any reason, he doesn't care. He's just begging to stay right beside me. He loves me unconditionally. Me and that little poodle have been through alot over the years, but we always had each other. It's amazing how much strength I've gotten from my little dog. I can't tell you how many times I've been crying and my sweet poodle will cuddle up next to me and try to cheer me up. It always seems to work too...

He's my little reminder from God of how much He loves me. That unconditional presence that He's here, waiting to be noticed, and begging for attention. It's hard to imagine God begging for our attention, huh!? Why us...we're a broken needy people. But no matter what you say or do, He still longs to just be with us. So...this morning as I woke up to a sweet puppy laying across my chest trying to wake me up, I was reminded of how blessed I am. Blessed to have a million daily reminders of My Father's love for me, especially my favorite little reminder Chewy!!
