Today is Monday, February 9th, 2015; Karen's Korner #3001

I spent the last week in Florida, staying with a sister who rents a condo near Naples for the month of February. Weather was beautiful and through modern technology, I was able to keep sending Karen's Korner emails!

Back home in Iowa yesterday afternoon, it was 30 - 40 degrees colder! But still nice - 35 degrees when I went to pick up my dog, Rocky. He spent the week being 'dog sat' by some friends of ours.

Rocky was happy to be going home and ran to jump into my van.......wet, muddy feet and all! So I had some paw prints on at least three of our leather seats! Then I remember:  I/we have had Rocky because we want to have live with us.....with or without his muddy paws.

Isn't that how it is with anything we choose to love? There is the relationship, which is good. But sometimes we have extra work, additional expenses, maybe even a broken heart! Worth it, because he choose it!

Same thing with God. He knew that we might 'mud' up His universe. But He chose to love us anyway:

"For God loved the

world (you & me!) so much that He gave His only Son

so that anyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life."

~ John 3:16 LAB

This week is Valentine's week, time to tell or show someone (or something like a dog) how much you care for them!

Muddy footprints and all!

 Where is my clean up cloth?
