~Go Be Dogs~ Last evening i was consumed with news. Face book...TV... Full of aweful, devastating, cruel, ugly... News. Through the night i woke frequently to chat with God about such things. My troubled mind no match for my disturbed spirit. I am a fixer. I am a nurturer. I am a problem solver. I am a mommy. And at times i wish i could mother the world. I was reminded several times last night...by the one who does Father the world...that in fact it is His...and He is in control. I was also reminded of when we brought Preston and Payton back from the trainer years ago. They did amazing completing at Cabela and Wild TV events. They also came home with E-Collars hidden under delightful neck bandannas. They acted and moved as robots. Once home it didnt take me long to find a new command for them... Go be dogs That meant...dont heel i have no commands for you...just...race, swim, sniff, play, explore, roll, eat cow shit, dig, chase...RUNNNNNNNNNNNNNN But... When i say come or home...do it! That was my command for today... Go be dogs... Every single day my Labs are so excited to see me it is overwhelming. They are happy...full of delightful joy. They want to be near me....touched...spoken to...hugged and kissed. They... NEVER REJECT ME I headed out with them...dancing at my feet. The only thing i took with me today was a leash. My dogs have earned the right and honour to never wear a collar. But i can make a collar and a leash in 5 seconds and march a naughty Lab home if i have to. Rarely have i had to do this. I had no phone, watch, camera, treats, bug spray. I wore fushia muck boots, green capris, red shirt and a smile. Off we went. Go Be Dogs... The only words from my mouth. I walked silently. And i watched. The doggies raced, swam, sniffed, played, explored, rolled, ate calf shit, dug and RAN. I walked and observed the world around me. Unhindered by news. Good or bad or ugly. I walked and enjoyed nature, creation...and a quiet conversation with the breath in the breeze. My babies would come to me every once in awhile for reassurance and approval. I would pet them... Smile... And kept moving. I never had my eye off of them. They never left my sight. I never said a word. We moved...although separate as one. When all were tired...I turned and headed for home. I didnt say a word. Everyone noticed and turned. I cleaned the kennel runs. Made everyone breakfast. Then Had coffee and cookies. Cookies for breakfast. Chocolate with white chocolate chunks. I sat and watched the clothes flap in the morning breeze as they dried on the line. Hummmmmm This is what God wants. He doesnt want us to be robots. Well trained little machines. No free will. He wants us to enjoy his creation...his masterpieces. He wants us to enjoy Him. He wants us to be so excited everyday when we wake. Excited to see and be near him. To know... That no matter where we are out in the world....he has his eye on us and we are so intuned to him...we keep coming back to him for reassurance and approval. That when he turns and heads for home...we know its time and just follow him. Trusting that...he has a clean home and food prepared for us. No worries...happy...full of life and love and wanting to please. That is a Lab. Although trained and knowing full well the commands of obedience i have for their protection and fun. Knowing well the boundaries and consequences. We live a life together... That i can trust them To Go Be Dogs. I really dislike religion...the division and arrogance it creates. We have come so far from the garden... of walking in the created with the creator. So many people love to live as robots...slaved to ideas, thoughts, plans created to destroy others and elevate themselves. I am so thankful that i love God. That i can trust him to look after the affairs of the planet...including working out all the details of these robot people. Today... I will not consume myself with the news. The good, bad and ugly of this world. Today... I will learn from my Labs relationship with me. Everyday...until i see its time to head for home I will live by the command Go Be Dogs...
