As you all know, my animals follow me out to the garden when I go out there. My dog is NOT allowed into the garden gate, however, as she does not know to stay out of the beds and the plants. Abi (the dog) is my shadow. It is so very annoying - she follows me (seriously) everywhere.
So, as I putter in the garden, my dog waits outside the fence. She waits patiently, never going anywhere she can't see me. It's very important to her that she be able to see me.
I was thinking again (still?!) how annoying she is when I realized that maybe she's just acting the way I should be acting. Shouldn't I be always in sight of God? Just to BE in His presence? I don't talk to Abi every moment, but I do check in every once in a while to be sure she hasn't wandered. Maybe God doesn't speak every moment (although He probably does and I'm not listening), but speaks to give me guidance as to where to be - right near Him.
