Separation Anxiety

Breesy Lee is the newest member of our family. She is going on 10 months, almost an adult Poodle. It feels like we just got her. There are times I must admit that she is quite the brat but other times she just melts your heart.


 Breesy really loves Rodney. if he leaves the room or goes where she can't get to him she whines and fusses till he comes back. Tonight was one of those times. We went for a walk and on the walk we stopped at the church to pick up something we had left there.  Rodney went in to get it and Riley, Breesy and I stayed outside. You would have thought the we were beating the dog the way she almost screamed for Daddy to come back out. She just can't stand being separated from him. 

Do you ever wonder if that is how God feels when we pull away from Him? Do you think we make Him cry in loneliness?  Do you think He longs to be with us so much He almost pulls us towards Him? He hates being apart from us even more than Breesy hates being separated from Rodney. Maybe He sometimes feels sorry that He even gave us freewill?

There are times that we all head off searching and working so much for a better life on this earth that we forget the one who gave us the life we have. 

God's scriptures tell us this.......

Genesis 1:27

  God created human beings;
        he created them godlike,
    Reflecting God’s nature.
        He created them male and female.
    God blessed them

Romans 1:19-23

But the basic reality of God is plain enough. Open your eyes and there it is! By taking a long and thoughtful look at what God has created, people have always been able to see what their eyes as such can’t see: eternal power, for instance, and the mystery of his divine being. So nobody has a good excuse. What happened was this: People knew God perfectly well, but when they didn’t treat him like God, refusing to worship him, they trivialized themselves into silliness and confusion so that there was neither sense nor direction left in their lives. They pretended to know it all, but were illiterate regarding life. They traded the glory of God who holds the whole world in his hands for cheap figurines you can buy at any roadside stand.

God created us! We are so special to Him. Why do we forget that?  Imagine how much better all of our lives would be if we just spent time with the one who gave us everything, everyday. 

Can't you just see Him smiling at the thought?

Blessings!
