A big big yard

I was thinking about something yesterday and I thought it was worth sharing. We have a puppy, Riley, who is 4 and a half months old. She is like any other puppy in that she loves to be outdoors, she loves the wind, she loves eating anything on the ground. I took her over my parent’s house and she loved spending the day there going on walks, and running around outside. She’s back home now and we keep her in the guest bathroom of our third floor condo and I bet she’s sad and thinks that place is so far away. I don’t get sad though because I know in a couple weeks she will have the biggest yard to run around in and she will always be able to see it through the door. I tell her all the time what is coming and how great it will be but I know she doesn’t understand and she won’t until I can put her little paws on the grass. A lengthy comparison I know but I am almost sure this is how God feels about us. He knows the greatness in store and encourages us to look past our circumstances but we struggle until we can actually see change happening in our lives. I’m going to take Riley for a nice long sunny walk today. It’s my way of saying hang in there, just a little more waiting. I bet God does this for me everyday.
