This past weekend was stressful, to say the least. I wanted to be alone... for the first time since I adopted Jireh, I was so irritable, I even wanted her to stay away from me. But golden retrievers are sensitive and perceptive, so Jireh kept bringing me bones, toys, etc. I closed my eyes and pretended I was sleeping. When she finally gave up, she was beside me with a bear I had put up where she couldn't reach it. It wasn't her toy, but was a keepsake a friend had given me when Seminole passed away. Just as I was about to yell at her, she looked up with her big brown eyes, holding the bear that says, A friend is God's Way of proving He doesn't want us to walk alone. I hugged her as my heart melted, thanking God for Jireh and Addy.
