Today is Tuesday, May 5th, 2020; Karen's Korner #4202

My eleven-year-old dog Rocky has been a trusted companion of our family for nine of those years. The twenty-plus pound pug lives in my house when I am home; is outside when I am not.

If he is outside and wants to come back in, he scratches on the door. And then he waits! Sometimes for 10 or 15 minutes, if I am busy. If I don't hear him scratch the first time.

It is cute for me to look through my kitchen windows. as he is patiently waiting for me to come to the door.

Sometimes I wonder if I have as 'patient' in my relationship with my Heavenly Father, who I claim to be my Caretaker. Do I 'scratch' at the door of heaven with my prayers. And then sit waiting patiently because I know that He will answer me. Or I do I keep on scratching, thinking He might not answer me this time. Or in my timing?

Maybe I need to learn something from Rocky. He knows me and knows that i will take care of him.

Heavenly Father, just for today, I want to 'scratch' more often at the door of heaven. Help me to wait patiently for You to respond. I have trusted You in the past. Help me to trust You today. You say You will never leave me nor forsake me; that You will always care for us as Your Children. We are trusting You. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
