I was out at a local recreation facility and a little girl approached me. She was about 8 or 9. She needed helped opening her soda. Of all the adults in the lobby, she gently approached me and happily skipped away once I obliged.
I thought to myself, "Awwww I miss when my sisters were that little."
That one encounter brought me back to my big sister days, and I suddenly remembered how much I like nurturing.
A few days later, my mother asked me if I wanted a dog her coworker was trying to find a home for.
Ten days after that I became the adoptive mom to an energetic, playful, and oh so snuggly 8-week old Dachshund named Pepper. (I'll share pics in a future post!)
Pepper and I are adjusting to life together, which explains the hiatus from writing. But no worries, the Boyd Sisters asked me to prepare a little something for Inspirational Mondays. Check out a part of my story on their site!
And stay tuned for an "Encounter" series. I have asked my sisters in Christ to prepare something to fill the dead air time. The Boyd Sisters will share their Encounter real soon!
