Thankful...musings

Today I was thinking, as I fed Buttercup, that life is a wonder and yet a puzzle. Here I am being able to afford to feed an animal food and very good food. There are so many people in the world who can not feed their children, even right here in North America. I have been blessed to be able to afford a pet and all the expenses that entails.

So why am I so special? Why do I have so much? Why was I blessed to be born in a first world nation?

I don't know why..but God in his love and mercy has shed his grace upon me.

"Amazing grace, how sweet the sound!...The Lord has promised good to me, His word my hope secures...And like a flood HIs mercy reigns, unending love, Amazing grace".
(Lyrics from Amazing Grace (My Chains are Gone)

He has blessed me with a loving, compassionate husband to enrich my life.

He has blessed me with a loving, sweet, sensitive dog companion.

He has blessed me with new friends through this site.

So thankful and yet a reminder that I need to concentrate more on my blessings and not long and wait for what may (or may not) be a better tomorrow.

Today, I live like a Queen compared to much of the world's population. So of what can I complain?

I know my canine pals truly enrich my life. I would be lost without them. Rescue is most rewarding as well knowing that I can help corgis go on to new homes where they will be adored.
