STAY!

STAY! This is the new command that Sienna learned at her last puppy class. But what does is mean to “stay”. Does it mean to be stagnant and not move forward? No, it means to be still and quiet, be patient while you wait for your next command.

In our fast paced human life, I believe that most of us have forgotten how to “stay”. We are on the go so much of the time that all of a sudden we look back and say, “How did I get here and where was I going?” There are times in my life when God has told me to “stay” and I turned a deaf ear and kept on going. Fortunately God has a way of telling me again and again until I relent and say “OK”, I will ‘stay’ and listen to what it is you’re trying to tell me.” It is in those times when I “stay” that I learn the most. I turn my eyes toward my Heavenly teacher and I wait for my next lesson.

This blog is dedicated to my step-mom, Sue, who learned to “stay” and took the time to love her husband, her children, her extended family; she took the time to stop and listen to the Lord even when she wanted to run and say “la, la, la I’m not listening”. She will be missed.
