The picture I put on my blog is of our dog, Ziggy. His full name is Zigfreed Ziopholas. He is supposebly to be a knight in a game. No, he is not Italian, he is a Pomeranian, Tebetan, Spaniel.
Ziggy has a mischievious personality. He goes into the bedroom and gets onto the bed and snatches receipts in a basket that are approximately 2 feet from the bed! He gets into the clean laundry and snatches the pillow cases. He snatches underwear, socks, paper, slippers. He chews on all these items. He use to chew cords! He is 2 years old and still has puppy in him. He had been to training school and only now does he come when you call him. We had a difficult time training him to pee outside. My son has successfully trained Ziggy to go outside! Yeh! Even though, it seems that Ziggy does not like my son, he listens to him. Ziggy can be a brat but we all love him. He always comes to you when you come home, waggy his tail and wanting to lick you. He has learned to give me high-fives. Ziggy's love is very affectionate, unconditional.

God's love is unconditional. He loves us no matter what we do or say. He is always there to pick us up when we fall or when we get hurt. He loves us when we are happy, when we are sad, angry, anxious, not knowing where to turn. He loves us through the trees, the flowers, the mountains, the beauty all around us. He loves us through giving us people in our lives who help us through difficult times. He wants us to love him also.

Ephesians 3:16-18 says; "I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through His spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have the power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ."
