WAITING FOR A DOOR TO OPEN


My little dog teaches me daily – how to wait.


His life so closely parallels mine. Just like me his life has a regular routine. 


He asks to go outside to roam around, sniff the world, observe life, stretch out in a little ray of sun.


Just like me - from time to time I find the door shuts on my routine:


Then he decides he wants to come back in the house. So he goes and stands by the door.Sometimes the door doesn't open right away.


Imagine that!


Why does he go to the door, sit, look in, and patiently wait?


He trusts I will open the door. He knows from past experiences the door will open. He has learned --- I take care of him. It is my responsibility. All he needs to do, is to be ready to walk through the door when it opens.


Are you waiting for something important to happen in your life? Maybe you have been waiting for a long time and you are about to give up. Are the circumstances around your wait about to crush you?


Jesus said, “ I am the way…”


From one who waits, let me encourage you- step up to the DOOR, the DOOR called Jesus. Draw near to Him, there is no better place to wait.


At just the right time the door will open!


Meanwhile,


Shine!

Isn't that the cutest picture? Lucy Mae does the same thing to me time and again. They just want to be with us, I think.

I'm hoping all is well in your world!

You have a cute pup! I love animals! They teach us so much about our Creator and His love for us.

I wanted to thank you for visiting my blog and for recommending my blog designing services. I appreciate it.

I will have to go check out your book, From the Pound to the Palace. I'm always looking for Christ-centered childrens books for my grand-girls.

Nice meeting you!
Rich blessings!

I love that reminder...as, right now, I am waiting (WAITING) for the door to open! I know - truly know - that my heavenly father will open the door in just the right time and He has not "left me outside"....but I needed this reminder today!
