Kona finds a home

today is the last day these walls

will be merely a house

tomorrow our long awaited addition

will transform our living space

into a true home

as our now eight week old puppy

completes our family

we have food, treats, toys

blankets, collar and leash

a crate for her to snuggle in to

and spaces in our hearts

that she will soon fill to overflowing

meet Kona

and stay tuned for updates

as she grows into herself

love learned

anywhere we land

however temporary

companions appear 

adopting us

reminders of how to love

and be loved

asking only for a sweet touch

giving so much more

than they will ever know

Until then, there are three things that remain: 

faith, hope, and love—yet love surpasses them all. 

So above all else, let love be the beautiful prize for which you run.

1 Corinthians 13:13 Passion Translation

not too proud

slick black shine

not too proud 

to beg for stroking

scratching

offers in return

loyalty in affection

a constant returning

for more

Was it love at first sight? You bet! I knew that I was to name her Faith. Young and small as she was, the joke became "Oh, you of little Faith."
