I shared this with Eva by email earlier and I wanted to share it here also:
"I remember losing the family cat when I was young. A few months later we got another cat, and my mother grudgingly accepted it into our home, saying "well, I'll like it but I'll never love it." Of course she loved it, and that was a good lesson for me. Once you know how to love, it constantly multiplies, isn't that wonderful?
The dogs are well with us, and right now they are at my feet. They are Norm's dogs all day, Sidney's dogs at bedtime, and mine later in the evening. They learned that their love multiplies too!" |
