Sometimes I think our 4-legged babies know when we’re sad…

Sometimes I think our 4-legged babies know when we’re sad…

Have you ever had that thought?  That somehow they just know?  That somehow they feel what you feel and they, in some way, want you to know it?  I’ve always felt this way about my horses. 

This time of year is always a little sad for me.  I know that all the events that transpired during Easter week happened because of His love for us.  But, I can’t help but grieve a little when I think of all His suffering. 

So, on yesterday (Thursday), I had a bad feeling all day long.  Like something was wrong, something was causing me some sadness, a little bit of grieving.  I put it down to the Easter feelings and I prayed off and on all day.  My babies felt it too.  Our horses and dogs acted like they knew something wasn’t right.  My little Tori girl (yorkie) wanted me to hold her all day.  If I was standing, she was climbing my legs for me to pick her up and if I was sitting, she was in my lap.  And every now and then, she look up at me and just look.  She’d put her ears back and just lean into me.  I just loved on her and repeated all day that “everything is going to be ok.”

Early evening, I received a phone call from my mother.  I could immediately tell that she was crying and distressed.  Dear friends of ours lost their son yesterday.  His wife came home and found him deceased in their home. 

Most Friday nights my husband and I go out with three other couples for dinner, fellowship and good times.  Over the years, it has become something that we all really look forward to.  It is kind of a big deal with us.  Each couple has one Friday night a month in which they decide where we go to eat.  And, of course, if it turns out to be bad, we get to rag them until a month later they get to redeem themselves.  🙂  The couple that lost their son is one of the three couples.  They are kind, compassionate, caring folks and I am so blessed to be able to call them ‘friends’.   Their son was way too young to die.  As of now, the cause of death is unknown. 

So, again today, I have prayed off and on all day.  I pray that my dear friends will be able to handle their loss.  I know they will meet again.  🙂  Also, again today, my little Tori girl has remained close.  She is in my lap now as I type this. 

Prayers for my dear friends are greatly appreciated.
