A scene I like to visualize,
especially with this
fierce Tennessee heat --
one of our dogs
bounding out the door,
rolling over and over,
delighted with the snow;
certainly not those in
New England we used to know,
but enough there to enjoy.
What lesson here?
I think for me,
to seize the moment,
feel its joy,
not take for granted
the good God does bestow.
Throughout the Bible
are admonitions to us
to rejoice over this and that,
with never a mention of
dragging around yesterday,
or trying to live tomorrow.
"Easy to do" one might say,
if one is a puppy
without a care in the world,
or a happy little girl or boy.
They have someone looking
after all their needs."
Well, don't you and I
have Someone looking
after all of ours?
Hmmmmmm?
