I'm not certain who was more blessed today. Me to be in NYC with Pete, or Pete to be in NYC with his wonderful family. Either way divine intervention brought us together.
One should take time to give adoration to the connections that lead us new directions. There was a time I never would have gone to NYC, or Seattle, or other places to spend time with friends who are really new to my life. So my blessing is the expanded horizons that have come my way.
How often do you see a camel entering a Episcopal Cathedral (or any other cathedral for that matter?) Or a tortoise in a decorated wagon? Or raptors, goats, reindeer, pony's, and an adorable tiny cow. All with wreaths of lemon leaf around their necks complete with a gerbera daisy??? It was an animal lover's moment of bliss.
Then there were the individual blessings for animals. There were dog's galore, a few cat's in carriers mixed in for good measure, a pair of red ear slider turtles, and dogs. Did I mention there were dogs? Most touching was the man behind us with his precious box carrying the remains of his dear cat. Our animals live on in our hearts long after our animals cross the bridge.
Pete and Lucy were blessed officially today. In reality, they are blessed beyond measure on a daily basis.
Come to think of it, we all are.
Life with dogs. A little humor, a dash of play, a seed of faith, and of course, some dog fur.
