Sorry about more pics. The dog belongs to my nephew while he was getting back from war. He took her back home with him now. She is a good dog. Barks alot though. I will try and get more pics though i haven't seen her in awhile. Thanks for the comment.
I read this today and thought i would share it.Father, please give me wisdom in knowing when to speak and when to be silent. I want to share your message in the proper way, at the proper time, to the proper people. Give me patience so that I can keep my mouth shut when silence is needed. Give me courage to speak when the time is right to speak. May the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be pleasing to you and a blessing to others. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
Hi, Thankyou for that beautiful blessing. It had such depth to it..very beautiful and inspiring. Sorry it took so long to respond. Thankyou so much for being a fan!
