Saturday I had about 3 hours left w/ Sumo (my big dog). All I wanted to do was hold him. But I decided, very much for his sake, to take him for a walk. We went to a special place and for the first time, I just let him off his leash to roam ahead of me in these fields and orchards. He did so great. What a good dog. He never got too far ahead of me and when he did one word would stop him he'd turn, look at me, and go forward a bit slower. A couple of times to test him I just turned around and started to walk the opposite way. Without a word he would turn and I would hear the gallop of him coming up behind me, pass me, and turn to look at me as if to say...I'm here now! So precious.
I am not a flower girl. I have never been really into flowers or any of that. I like them, but, whatever. I could not get past the almond blossoms that day. They were gorgeous and I was so drawn to them. My spirit was roused and I just could not get past them. I even asked, "Lord, why am I so taken by these blossoms?"
The next day I googled "almond blossoms symbolism" and the first thing to pop up was that "Almond blossoms are the eternal symbol of Hope."
Thank you, Lord for your faithfulness to me. For your love and intimate concern. Thank you for placing my babies and having each and everyone of them in your hand. I pray the fullness of Your will for me to come into full bloom.
I'm thinking, my next tattoo may have to be an almond blossom. ;)
