A Dog's Love

R. M. Drake

A dog's love is the purest thing you'll ever know. It's not complicated by words or motives, just simple devotion that shows up every single day. It's in the way they greet you like you're the most important person in the world, no matter how long you've been gone.

It's steady, without hesitation, a love that doesn't fade when things get tough. A dog's love isn't about what you can give, it's about who you are to them. It's loyalty, comfort, and understanding, all wrapped into one quiet, constant presence that never asks for anything but to be near you.

Feel

They may forget what you said, but they will never forget how you made them feel. - Carol Buchner

Near & Working

God, help me see You in the in-between. In the waiting, the wondering, and the quiet parts of my days.

Teach me to find joy in Your presence, to be faithful in the small things, and to follow You today - even when I can't yet see what You're doing. Amen. - Proverbs 31 Ministries

Positive Intent

Whatever anybody says or does, assume positive intent. You will be amazed at how your whole approach to a person or problem becomes very different. - Indra Nooyi
