Trevor, Britney, & Kynlee came over yesterday & of course Monte & I stop what we're doing & we do whatever Kynlee wants to do. She jumped on the trampoline, rode her quad, & played sword fighting w/ all the sticks in the yard. Ringo joined in the sword fight. The one, though, who enjoys the visits the most is Lambeau. He loves when Trev comes over, because, even though he's a dog, he loves Trev!! He usually knows they're coming long before we see him, b/c he hears his jeep. He gets here & he jumps all over him. He comes inside & Lambeau does all he can to sit on his lap. If you've ever seen Lambeau you know he's not a lap dog, he weighs about 120pnds. Trevor talks to him, pets him, brushes him, gives him extra treats & spends as much time w/ him as he can. Lambeau is happy. Or atleast it seems that, for a dog he is. After everybody was gone & the ones that live here were in bed I went to make sure Lambeau was not tangled up & was ready for bed himself, yes I know I'm weird--I treat these dogs like they're humans, anyway, he was on the porch, laying on a blanket. He seemed very content. When I opened the door he raised his head to look at me & I said, "are you happy? You like when your person comes & sees you!" He layed his head back down & I never heard another thing from him. Which is a miracle b/c I promise you--he is nocturnal & barks at every little thing, especially at nite. So anyway I'm thinking about how we should be like Lambeau w/ Trevor. In John 10:27 it says, "My sheep hear my voice, & I know them & they follow me." Jesus calls to us-we hear Him & we should be excited, we should follow Him. He loves us & has good plans for us & that should make us content & satisfied. We chase & run after things that mean nothing, that sometimes are even no good for us. We need to be listening for our Saviors voice & then obeying what He's saying. We need to spend time w/ Him & be content in & w/ that time. Let's try & do that today. Let's start looking forward to time w/ our good shepherd, hearing His voice & getting excited about what He says!! And let that just flow through out the rest of our day. Following after Jesus is way better than anything we could follow after on our own. He'll never lead us astray, never contradict what He says, & His promises are true!! What great hope that should give us today!!
