This Saturday we are bringing our little baby girl home! We are very excited to open up our hearts again to a little border collie puppy named Layla, (after Eric Clapton's song, of course). She was born Oct 14, just 12 days after our Abbey left this earth. It is also my husband's birthday so we took it as a sign that she should be ours.

I wanted to share with yall that last week I was reading in Psalms 42 and came across a verse "Tears have been my food day and night" I like to look up the original words to help give me more understanding so I looked up "night" and learned that it can be a "time of grief and sorrow" but it goes on to say how God gives us "songs in the night" Well the really cool thing is that the original (Hebrew) word is "Laylah" and I was so touched!!  It came to me clearly that Layla will be my song in the night. How sweet of the Lord to confirm that to me.

Just wanted to share that with someone who may right now be in a time or sorrow and grief. Embrace it, feel it, grow and learn from it. And finally, you will live through it and joy does come again.Thanks for listening~di
