Dayna.........I have to be honest with you in saying when I first read your posting about 45 minutes ago I had to go and lay down for awhile. Your tender words filled with so much emotion tugged at my own heart and emotions much much deeper than I have felt in a very long time. Each and every word was said so freely and genuinely without any reservations of letting out just how much faith and trust you have and cherish everything you love.

So many comment on how animals can give their love so freely without conditions and love us no matter what we do. You also share in those attributes and give without expectations from others. Being able to see beyond what our eyes tell us allows us to see just how beautiful this world can be and that there are some people who are truly blessed in knowing and living this way. Your eyes and ears are wide open as well as your comforting arms for all to experience a hope in easing their pain and restoration in hope and a faith that they too will one day know their love is everlasting and is more powerful than anything.

To love and be loved is the most treasured feeling I have ever known. There is nothing else that compares to it by any means. The peace that lies within love and contentment cannot be bought or sold for it only comes from the heart and is a true gift from our Heavenly Father. By His grace alone can someone feel the kind of love you describe so tenderly and unselfishly.

As you hold Mack and Sadie so close to your heart and know their love will always be with you, I want you to know that I am also with you. Your heart has touched mine in a way few others have in my entire lifetime. The inspiration and testimony of love in the true messages you send to others is an extension of the that special kind of love you have for Mack & Sadie.

May all your dreams come true. Keep letting that sunshine radiate on all those around you because it brings hope, inspiration, faith, and a message of what true love is now and forever will be.

Much love to you Dayna today and always,
Beth

Beth,

Well I'm speechless now dear... except to say that God's been so good to me...even when I was doing wrong and I knew it I felt his watch-care in my life. That is the grace you spoke of. Out of the terrible loss of my darling beasties...when my food was ashes in my mouth,and all the world seemed dark and sad I have received precious gifts such as Lightning-Strike and you, and a rare opportunity to pay back what I've been given.


Love to you,
Dayna

When we give away from the heart it comes back to us tenfold. If we don't give it away we lose the capacity to renourish ourselves in spirit and love. That's what it is all about.........passing it on to others.

I too remember very well the taste of the ashes you speak of and the feel of a dark oppressive spirit who wanted only to devour me and make me captive. God's been very good to me and always has been. He freed me from that deep dark and sad place. I trust and have faith in that He has an ultimate plan for all of his children, including His furry ones.

Love right back at you Dayna,
Beth
