Blog post 18 Bubbies

​Hi everyone I’m Bubbies.  I “belong” across the road from Cheryl and Perley but spend a great deal of time with my second mom Cheryl.  You might call me an adopted member of the St. Matthew by the Lake Pet family.  You see, Cheryl feeds me and she is the one that tends to all my medical needs, makes sure I get check-ups and shots.  She is the one that ensures that I stay healthy and fed.  I’ll admit, I grumble when she takes me to Lakeland Animal Hospital but after it is all over I’m OK. I know she is doing what is best for me.  Good parents are like that, they do what is best for us even when we don’t understand how what they are doing is the best at the time.  Of course. God is that perfect parent that lets all of us make decisions on our own.  Sometimes through those decisions and actions we hurt ourselves and we hurt other people.  God does not treat us as Marionettes on a string.  We are all allowed to make those decisions and mistakes.  However God is always there with open arms, welcoming us back, giving us strength to pick up the pieces of our lives, change our ways and begin again. It is such a joy to have a loving God that welcomes us back and loves us all.
