I wake up in the middle of the night. Something stirring me from my sleep, eyes opening: Darkness. In the still quiet I hear the soft, shallow breath of my dog curled up beside me. My heart fills with love and warmth and peace.
I think back of the sleepless nights of months past, fearful, fretful hours spent pondering and wondering.
"She laughs without fear of the future..."
I don't know why it took me so long. To listen, to obey, to rest.
Peace is a gift, but we can't unwrap until we submit to obedience.
