I used to want a puppy when I was younger. Of course, that never happened, but L who didn’t think he’d ever like dogs, got one last year. And in a way, its amazing how the people who didn’t think they’d love a dog, did.
She was just a tiny little one when I first met her, shivering and scared. But she was tired, so she just slept in my arms while L drove us back. Now she is confident and grown up, and a source of love and joy for many.
Some people say that these animals, take away the stresses and pain of people’s lives, and I think its true. Looking at how she has changed relationships, and brought out the best in so many people. She’s like a little bundle of love, spreading it wherever she can
It is funny how in people to people relationships, many of us can be rather insensitive and cold. A little puppy seems to know and have so much more love.
Love, this universal energy that is so often talked about. Love is what heals, connects, and makes everything worthwhile.
I am not sure how it is for others, but for me, the language of love, is prayer. And prayer really works wonders. From every single little thing in life, to the big stuff in life, praying has helped me always. And I never consciously realised it, but when I pray, it is with love that I pray, and it has never failed me. And whatever I have learnt, be it quantum touch or whichever healing modality, the source is always Love.
I know that not everyone is Christian, but this is part of the bible that I really love, taken from biblegateway:
1 Corinthians 13
Love
1If I speak in the tongues[a] of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames,[b] but have not love, I gain nothing.
4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
8Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. 11When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. 12Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
13And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
