About this time last year I had finally convinced Hubs that we really needed a puppy. Filled with exhilaration at his begrudging consent, I jumped on the task determined to have an Easter puppy. I spent the entire Saturday before Easter crossing puppies off my list. It needed to be a blonde cocker spaniel just like Candy and Madison. And I really wanted a girl but she couldn't be too old because I wanted to have that baby bond. In my mind I had already fallen in love with this helpless little puppy and I put all my energy into finding her so that I could bring her home. In fact I knew her name before I ever even saw her.
It's amazing to me that Jesus spends His time and energy seeking after me the way that I sought after Lilly. Fully knowing that I can never find my way to Him on my own doesn't seem so scary
because I know He will find me. Even if I accidentally wander off (sheep do that you know) I know that Jesus will come scoop me up and hug me close again and take me back home.I hope that when my life has come to a close that I will have been the loyal faithful friend to Jesus that my Lilly has been to me. I hope I bring Him the joy and delight that comes from watching someone laugh and play and grow. I hope that I will have a "sincere heart in full assurance of faith" and that I will hold fast to the Hope that comes from the Lord without wavering.
