Pets

If our pets have no soul, then they come closer to mimicking one than any animals I have ever known. I see daily the resemblances of God in these simple, obedient creatures. Loving us when we are unlovable, forgiving us in spite of ourselves, and always demanding our attention- particularly at times when we LEAST want to give it. Perhaps they are only little gifts along the way, loyal followers on our journey to the Real Country, whispering gently to us from the Master- “I have not left ye alone.”
