My Dog And Relationships

 

This is a picture of my dog Mia.  She is wiped out from me playing with her out back, just laying at my feet in my office as I work.

Something hit me today as I came to the door, unlocked it, and walked in to the house.  As usual, there Mia was, excited to see me.  She does that with the whole family.  

Every single time.

 

 

What struck me was how often we fail to give this to those we love.  Let me ask you, when you walk in the door and see your kids at the end of the day, do you just say, "hey", or do you really show that you are GLAD to see them?  

How about your wife?

Your husband?

This may be a seemingly small piece of relationships, but I really think I am on to something here.  See, when we LOVE someone, it shows in our voice and on our faces.  We light up.  When they call, we are happy to hear their voice.  When we see them, we let them know they MATTER to us, that we love them.  I honestly believe this little piece is foundational to building loving relationships.  

Its about BONDING.

I really think heaven will be this way.  We will always be glad to see each other.  Joy will mark the place.  May we experience more of heaven in our relationships.....'righteousness, peace, joy'.

Grace,

PB

Smile with the people you love. Talk with the people you love.
Laugh with the people you love. Take care of the people you love. We do not know when God will call us home, so, enjoy today, everyday the people you love.

You are so "right on" Pastor Bobby"! Glad you are back to blogging--missed you for the longest time. Deep thoughts are one thing but daily reminders of our family's love and our(CHURCH'S) spiritual family's love mean so much. JUST BLOG AWAY WHAT IS ON YOUR HEART AND MIND. WE WILL LISTEN AND LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR TIDBITS OF FAITH AND AFFECTION!
