A very old stray {The Old Fella Story}
Went camping this weekend at a campground on the lake, had not been there for a few years. Once there I began to walk around looking at the different sites when I noticed a very old dog. He just lay t...

I believe I am seeing a miracle going on with my left eye. As most of you know I have been blind in that eye for almost two years now. Over the past few weeks vision is returning to the eye. This morning I was able to see the shadow of my hand crossing my face more clearly. Thank you for your prayers and continue to pray that full vision returns to that eye.
Suzie is such a playful little girl, so full of life. This morning she jumped up in the bed with me to wake me up to go outside. She loves it when she has to dig me out from under the covers. She is the most talkative dog I have ever had. She barks, she squeaks, she does something between a bark and squeaking that is hard to describe and that tail of hers is forever wagging non stop.
Fella will start barking for me to get up and then Suzie will jump down on the floor with Fella and start after him with her nipping and barking. I have never seen Fella so happy. He has really joined in with Suzie lately playing with her with the toys and he has shown a lot of interest in the tennis ball.
Levi is also becoming more active with Suzie and will challenge her with the ball by trying to get it first. If he manages to grab it he then runs from Suzie who is trying her best to get it out of his mouth. All of our human children are grown and gone, I am so glad God gave us these three children to bring so much joy into our lives. I won't know how to act if I am able to see Suzie with both eyes!!
Sue and I will be taking all three on an extended camping trip the end of September to the Outer Banks of North Carolina. I can't wait to see Suzie's reaction to the ocean and the beach. Fella and Levi love the beach that we often go to in South Carolina and always have the best time. Fella has never been to the Outer Banks so this will be a first for him.
When I think that Sue and I both are diabetics and me with my eye problems, I thank God we are still able to travel with our family of furkids and show them how much they add to our lives. I watch other families with their furkids, especially when they play with the children and know that in the years to come when they look back at the adventures they shared with their pets they are building precious memories and giving so much joy to God's creatures that otherwise they would have never experienced.
The next time you see an excited little dog running around with it's family barking and enjoying life, just think of all the unconditional love bundled up inside that neat life, just waiting to teach us some lessons of what real love is all about. You see we always live in their grace and are forgiven of our trespasses even before we ask. You will never understand what real love is until you have experienced unconditional love, forgiven even before you ask. So the next time you look into the eyes of your pet and you see all of that love just know in your heart this is pure love that we sometimes don't deserve, but yet it is freely given to teach us how we should live with each other.
