A blessing!

I know what people say. She is nuts to have so many dogs. Well, perhaps they do not realize the joy those dogs bring to me and so many other people. Two of my dogs are presently certified therapy dogs. They are members of the SCDOGS group in the upstate and visit local nursing homes and rehab centers in hopes of putting a smile on lonely faces. Last Wednesday I had an AMAZING visit at NHC with MableLean (no, I did not spell that wrong). Mable is my white boxer and has so much personality. She takes her job seriously and is great at it. While at NHC we had the opportunity to visit the mother of one of my co-workers. She is there for rehab on an elbow. She is 90 plus years old and sharp as a tack. I mean sharp. She is a wonderful Christian lady and although we went there to cheer her up, I left feeling so refreshed.
This wonderful lady told me story after story of how she had been so blessed by the Lord over the years. I just sat there listening in amazement of her unfailing love for the Lord. Here she sits, five weeks ago very independent and now having to fully rely on others for most of her needs yet she continues to give God the glory. She did not mope and groan about her condition. Wow, what a testimoney. I wondered to myself how I would react in that situation. Would I be as happy as she?
I was once again shown the mercy and love of Jesus through this wonderful lady. I cannot wait to go back and visit her. God continues to show me his love through this therapy work. Perhaps he is preparing me for what is to come in my future or perhaps he is using this as a way to show me how awesome he is. Whatever the reason is, I LOVE IT.
