One of the joys of being in Brisbane was getting to know
Bailey, the long-legged mutt, part Australian cattle dog, who is very much part
of the family.
After a few days of his getting used to our being there, he
began to include me in his affections, nuzzling gently under my arm from behind
and longing to give me a sloppy kiss (I suspect in hopes there might remain
traces of something yummy I’d just eaten…).
As we start out on our journey through 2025, my desire is to
rededicate my life to the Lord, to set aside and prioritise time just sitting
with him. Like Bailey greeting those he loves and trusts, I want to nuzzle in
to the Lord, resting in the shadow of his loving ‘wings’ and even daring a
sloppy kiss, in anticipation of tasting something utterly sublime on the face
of God: the taste of unconditional love.
May I resist the urgent for the important, disdaining
distractions in order to marinate in the love of our Saviour and friend
