A poorly trained dog may embarrass its owner and offend everybody, but those of us that act out, and are loved by our owners anyway, get better and better with each passing day. We all make mistakes, and a bad stain on the carpet is never reason to get rid of someone you love. God loves all of us, and our flaws are put on us by ourselves. We can decide to keep peeing in the same spot over and over again…or we can try something new, and actually take a walk in the grass, enjoy the view, and feel the new breeze between our ears. We may actually enjoy it. Having the things we want and need in life takes work though, and even doggie food is up 99 cents a can. That’s almost 7.00 in doggie money, but we are still taken care of. God provides in this world, and sometimes he speaks through friends, messages, signs, or music. He is all around, but only if you are looking for him.

Last night one of Amber’s friends came over and they talked, and hung out. At first it was uncomfortable because they haven’t spent as much time together as they used too. Amber almost wanted to start laughing at the uncomfortable silences between them. And then her friend shared a secret with her about her private life. All of a sudden the two of them were laughing, and talking and sharing with each other. She kept Amber up late-way past her bedtime, and when she left Amber felt a big relief within about any differences they may have had. The friendship was still there, and true friends can see through the challenges and differences. True friends are there for a lifetime. Only when EGO can be set free however, can a friendship or relationship ever last. We all embarrass ourselves sometimes, and laughing at our defaults instead of judging them is so much more fun.

Amber’s office smells of Pumpkin candles, and fresh picked green apples line the desks. The weather is hot but her office mates are as frisk as fall. The boss is out of town and everyone is in a playful mood. Now if only they had roller skates. (Yes, Amber already pitched roller-derby to the network, it was denied.)

Amber picked me up this morning and held me close. She told me I am a heartbeat at her feet, and that her love for me will never go away.
