Our rescue dog, Lexi…
Lexi is a ‘rescue’ dog. She has a ‘rescued spirit.’ She exudes happiness, enjoys the simplest pleasures, obeys eagerly, and generally appreciates being saved. She remembers where she came from. She now is content with just belonging and participating in whatever happens. Yes, she is often frightened and needs reassuring. She was after all abandoned, trapped and caged.
I identify with Lexi. I must remind myself that I too have been rescued. Each moment is a Gift that I never deserved, a new Life, a fresh start. The trick is to ‘Keep it Simple’, savor every moment and ‘seize the day.’ I choose, like Lexi, to live with a Grateful Heart. Just for today, Lord….
(This thought occurred to me while Lexi and I were walking around the neighborhood.)
