i spent a couple hours today with some beautiful puppies. Just born a couple weeks ago, they fit into the palm of my hand.

i had two girls in my hand and they were real cold, and shivering, so they curled up against me, and just slept there. And their mother lay next to me with her head on my lap.

The mother is so protective of her children. She is a perfect mother. She wouldn't leave their side for 2 weeks, and she sits and guards them when new people and other dogs come near. She lets the father play with the pups, she knows when they are hungry and when they are tired. And she spends all her time with them, and it drains all the energy from her.

It is incredible. and so beautiful, that she knows all this. No one ever taught her how to be a mother, she didn't even know her mother, but still she is perfect.

Times like this prove how absolutely perfect God is. His beauty leaves me in awe...every time.
