Here He Sits

****Our Oscar passed away this past Monday, February 20, 2023.  He inspired a few blogs and I wanted to share them again.  I love how the Father speaks through all His creation, especially “man’s best friend” of which this boy was.  RIP sweet buddy!****

A dog that was bred in Northern Scotland to rid farms, castles and other areas of vermin. A West Highland Terrier that has a tail that can be pulled out of a tunnel without pain or damage. A dog with a bark loud enough to notify the owner when he gets in that tunnel. (God’s creation amazes me by the way…)

And yet……

Here he sits. Continue reading Here He Sits

Lap Dogs

 *********Our sweet boy passed away yesterday, February 20, 2023.  He was almost 12 years old and taught us so many things worth repeating.  The Father used him in so many ways.  RIP Sweet boy, our hearts are broken, but how grateful we are to have had you in our lives.********

My pup and I have a routine we go through every single night. And if I am not where I am supposed to be, sometime in the evening I have to get there…no matter the hour. Continue reading Lap Dogs

Weeds

I love growing flowers in my yard and I have way too many.  You can ask my husband who helps me water.

I don’t love growing weeds.  And evidently, they do not need water.

Weeds remind me of trials, tribulations, problems, just the icky part of life that sometimes walks right in and makes itself at home.  No water needed, no fertilizer or particular soil.  

So when I saw these weeds the other day at the edge of the creek the Father reminded me of a simple truth.

Sometimes those weeds can become pretty flowers.

Sometimes those things in our lives that bring us pain, frustration, and trouble can turn into the most beautiful part of our life.

I had to stop and think about that for a minute.   

Sometimes those weeds end up being the favorite part of our yard.

And all along I thought it was just a weed.
