Hi, Pretty deep into my sobriety I still felt unsure with my God thing. So I got a little help. Wife and I found a half froze little puppy on the road.It's about zero out. I go to pick it up and it bites me. Get it home and see if we can keep it alive. It hides in a corner for a couple weeks but will drink a little warm milk if the wife feeds it. Very afraid of me. It lives and grows up to be a small mixed breed . When ever it gets scared it pees itself. One day I was looking at "rocket Man" and I noticed how bad he wanted NOT to be afraid of me. But he did not know how. It was just in him. Then one of those moments the Blue Book talks of happened to me. I was the scared little one afraid of God. I did not measure up. I grew to Love Rocket Man for his willingness. Not condemn him for his weakness. His limitations. I had an old 48 scooter at the time and when I went to start her little Rocket Man would get so excited he would pee himself but this time he was happy. After the old putt warmed up, Rocket Man wold jump into my arms and I would stuff him Head out in my leather. The little fart Loved going for a scooter ride. God accepts all of me. Good and not so good. I want to trust he Likes me. In the Wind , Toad
Toad, that is the most beautiful and heartfelt thing I have heard or read today. Oh, the JOY that little creatures can bring, and how they can, in their simplicity, teach us so much about the true simplicity of life. That is what I love about my dog, she demands that I remain simple with her. Love, tenderness, food, shelter. It is as simple as that. She trusts me. And I meet her needs, and that is all that matters, by the Grace of God. And she sure meets my needs, too. Especially my need for simplicity and love.
Take care and many hugs to you for this little share. And please hug and kiss little Rocket man for me and my dear Scouty. :o) ((((hugs)))) x joni x
