An old, tired-looking dog wandered into the yard. I could tell from his collar and well-fed belly that he had a home. He followed me into the house, down the hall, and fell asleep in a corner of the lounge.
An hour later, he went to the door, and I let him out.
The next day he was back, resumed his position on the Lounge, and slept for an hour.This continued for several weeks.Curious, I pinned a note to his collar: “Every afternoon your dog comes to my house for a nap.”The next day he arrived with a different note pinned to his collar:
“He lives in a home with Twelve Children — he’s trying to catch up on his sleep. Can I come with him tomorrow?”
How often do we become tired and worn out by life perhaps not because of Twelve Children but because of the many things that occupy our thinking and we take our focus off the real purpose of why we are alive, and because of this we feel drained and weary.
Have we come to the point that we just can’t carry the load any further then we need to stop and remember we have Someone who is willing to carry it for us and give us Joy no matter what the Circumstances.
Does that mean we will never cry, or feel pain, does it mean we will have an abundance of Blessings, does it mean we will be Free…Yes at the right time…
We will have all that is Promised… 
Isaiah 40:29-31

This gave me two thoughts . . .
1. I have a “quiet place” which is a real haven for me, where I can rest safe and secure in my Father’s arms and receive from Him all I need to continue in the place where He has placed me.
2. I should be a place of refuge – a place of encouragement: a place where troubles can be shared and diminished – for anyone whom the Lord places in my path.

We sure do Love a lot of the same things Cathy especially our King of Kings and one thing that never changes and that is your heart of Love for others, nothing overshadows that as far as I’m concerned and nothing will ever change my mind because it always shines through.

Hello again my dear friend, I remember the first time I meet you years ago and what touched my heart was your gentle eyes and sweet smile, with Steve it was his cheeky grin and the twinkle in his eye and what was a very special time in my life was when we all did a Bible study together in your home, it was the most honest Bible study I had ever been to, no masks and a willingness to be vaunerable with each other.
Thank you for your wonderful Loyal heart, I’m so glad you decided to Blog.
Christian Love Anne.
