I have been sitting here enjoying the morning. It has been a while since I have been able to do so. It had been too hot.
I have been looking at my gardens. They really need some attention. It has been so hot I have been unable to give them much attention, and now with all this rain, the weeds are growing, and it is too wet.
As I was sitting here reflecting, my cat, Manny, brought me a present. He brought me a live mouse and dropped it at my feet, then continued to play with it. Then, my dog, Flacka, takes it away, and she plays with it. They let it go and then catch it.
Sitting here, now reflecting on all this. What message is our Lord trying to give me?
When I think of my garden, it makes me think of my prayer life. When I let the things of the world overshadow my time with my God, my soul becomes like my garden. It gets full of weeds. I need to give it attention, no matter what is going on in my life.
And the gift I received? We had been gone on vacation. He was letting me know missed me. He had never brought me a gift before. He always wants attention when I am outside. But today he gave instead of received.
Made me think that we must learn to give without expecting anything in return. We must give our love.
As Jesus tells us,"Love one another as I have loved you ."
(Did not take a picture of my gift, was not expecting it and was not ready )
