God knows just what we need.
21 Years ago, when I cried out to Jesus to save my broken, lonely life, He gave me 3 things from which most of my future blessings and joy would come.
He gave me freedom. Freedom from much that had previously enslaved me. Freedom from drugs, doubt, and that voice inside me that berated me and always led me in the wrong direction.
He gave me Linda, making me complete. Together we would build a life that I dared not even dream of up to that point. Together we moved steadily from sadness to joy. Together we brought 3 miracles into our lives, multiplying our joy many times over.
He gave me Bitty B, a little furry bundle of free spirit and perfect love. She loved me no matter what I did. She always forgave me, even when I didn’t deserve it. Although I occasionally left her, she never left me. She was always there to love me and comfort me. She didn’t complain when the kids took my attention away, but patiently waited for me to turn my attention to her.
You see, 20 years ago when Jesus saved my life, he knew I was too dense and too proud to accept His perfect love. So he gave me Bitty B until I came around.
Thank you Bitty B. I will always love you. You will always be my Goodest Girl.
