"The wolf shall also dwell with the lamb." Isaiah 11:6

Tonight I beheld one of the sweetest moments in my life and I was immediately reminded of scripture.  I thought that it goes like, "The lion shall lie down with the lamb" but in studying I discovered that this is a concept but not actual scripture...

I liken  Harley to the wolf....Harley was continually attacked years ago by a neighbor's large dog and when he became blind, he was very defensive and has not been able to be around other dogs and children without close supervision and occasional nips and lunges and growls take place. 

Tonight was a miracle on our porch....amidst cooler temps and a lot of rain and thunder and lightning..I CELEBRATED moments below that caused my world to stop for a moment...and of course I had to email and text the pic to all dear loved ones that I knew would enjoy the pic as much as me....

"Harley, thank you for your warmth and sharing your blanket with me.  I am going to clean your fur and nurse while we are so close...."

I have never seen this phenomenon until tonight when Kevin would push against Harley's hind quarters and suckle. I described to a friend tonight at a party and they said that cats may do this if taken from their mom early in life.  Harley paid no attention to the intimacy...I almost wondered initially if I should be watching..that is the silly side of me that comes out every so often.... :)!

Photo 51...."my cheeks hurt from smiling for the camera" says Kevin....

I love Kevin's tail as Harley's boa constrictor scarf....

Is it that Harley is so old or is it that I am getting older and moments like these are what I treasure and stop my world to enjoy?!

May you have a moment that stops your world and you CELEBRATE it!!!!!!!!!!
