“He (God) refreshes my soul.” Psalm 23:3

Meet our St. Bernard, Charlie. He passed a few years ago but just one look at this photo brings a flood of memories. Charlie was the great grandson of the famed film dog “Beethoven”, and a 160 pound drooling teddy bear. Our girls climbed all over him as they grew up, and he returned the favor more than once. You could not enter the house without knowing that Charlie was present, either through his old man snoring or his bounding footfall as he would trot to the front door to greet anyone who entered our home. God truly blessed us with Charlie for this beloved mountain of fur was refreshment for the soul.

God Has A Wonderful Way Of Providing What We Need, Just When We Need It.

It may be through a much needed phone call or hug from a loved one or furry friend, or through His still small voice encouraging us when no one else can. You see, God can and will use any means possible to refresh us, and those many means are miracles one and all. The next time you are convinced that God’s not paying attention your needs, perhaps you should take a breath and start to realize the thousand and one ways God blesses you every single day. The time has come to say “thank you.” Thank you God for your blessings, even when I don’t recognize them. You are all I need.
