You Give Me Life

"There isn't a single speck of dust on the big white sheet that spells out the story of the love it gave..."

I'm exhausted, tired, I'm aching all over. The weekend's gone, in a flash, and it's time for a new week of more work, responsibilities, and endless tasks...I'm sitting in front of the computer catching up with unread mail and Facebook messages with a thousand other things to be done, and all of a sudden...

A certain softness lands on my foot. It brings a smile to my face, a wholesome feeling of reassurance and respect. Infectious joy spread like wildfire through every single limb, re-energizing and comforting the tired woman in me. It means so much that it makes me even wonder how the skies could sometimes be grey. A love so beautiful it makes you want to go on forever. This love has taught me so much, I will never let it go. There isn't a single speck of dust on the big white sheet that spells out the story of the love it gave. This is how it should be. No strings attached, just love, nothing but the purest heart of hearts. This is how I know my God really exists, if only one of His creations is capable of such love, how much more could His love for me be?

She tugged my shirt off the clothesline and hugged it to sleep. It was untouched otherwise. It's the soundest sleep I have ever seen of a puppy, she didn't even move when the camera clicked. What love is this?
