Love * Submit * Obey

I learned another life lesson from Prince the Wonder Dog.

We had the best weekend- (me and Prince) We woke up Saturday and Sunday and went for a long walk (maybe 4-5 miles). Both of us love the long walks. Then we came home, and jumped in the pool. Prince the Wonder Dog now LOVES swimming.

We are so pleased.




After a long exhausting walk, a refreshing swim in the pool and lots of laughs, we decide its lunch time. I make fat free turkey franks with lo carb wheat buns and sit down to eat.

I am reading a good book, Easy Chairs, Hard Words... and enjoying my lunch when I notice that Prince is laying on my feet. I realize what a great feeling it is. So I stop and enjoy this loving moment. Prince the Wonder Dog could lay anywhere in the house, but CHOOSES to lay at my feet.

At the 'Prince laying at my feet moment' I thought: How relaxed and safe he looks laying at his masters feet. He looks so comfortable. So then, I think: Its been awhile since I have actually layed myself at my Masters feet. It made me wonder what He thinks and how He feels when I do slow down enough to rest at his feet. I know how I feel when I'm there.

I'm going to make sure I get there more often.

    Darryl is actually reading it- I highjacked it from him... so I get it in between, but so far, its pretty good...just like we talked the other day- things I havent heard of in the 12 yrs I have been a believer. What a shame.
