Sitka and Mom (Andrea)
Several of you asked for a link to the therapy dog article that has been reprinted several times. I was asked to provide an article about Sitka. When I began to write the article I had a deep feeling it should be written in Sitka's voice. I battled over writing the article in this manner, but felt a clear direction from my Heavenly Father. It is a simple article, but most importantly it gives GOD the glory. Sitka states in the article, "I go wherever GOD leads and my Mom and Dad will take me."

Thanks for tagging me. Love your "8 things that you look forward to". Those are nice pics! Tell you what, I'll teach you a little bit of "guitar" but you have to give me "voice lessons". Deal? :)
God bless. Love and blessings to you.
Andrea,
I loved reading your lists. It is always fun learning new things about my friends.
Thanks for playing tag with me.

Congrats !
Enjoyed reading the 8 things..on the list. Looks a lot like mine ;)
Yes, won't it be lovely someday to be in our eternal home?
Great picture, your dog is so pretty! I like big dogs but I do have asthma and am allergic, so I really need a short haired dog if I am to have one.
Glad we have some things in common about the housework, lol!
Thanks for tagging me! What gorgeous photos... that little baba makes me feel all tingly, God's creation and gift. I bet our lists will look kinda similar hehe

It is always fun to learn more abotu my blogging friends.Loved the photos too!
BTW I can rarely get onto your blog...my computer just "aborts the process" ...strange huh?
Blessings as you remain true to all you are called to do...and than includes the way you speak truth through Sitka! :)
Ah thank you so much for thinking of me. I will try to work on this later today, can't do it this morning. Sorry I didn't make it by yesterday.
I loved reading about you. We have a lot in common. :)
Go Sitka! You know I love that dog. :)
How old is Sitka? We have a 2 year old boarder/collie mix, as I was reading your articles on therapy dogs I was wondering if Jake would have the qualifications. He would need some training, but he is a very loving, loyal dog. What kind of training did you go through and how long did it take?
I'll bet this post took a long time to work on!
Andrea,
Love your lists! I learn more and more about you as time goes on and consider you a valued friend in more ways than one.
Thanks for the tag. I will be posting it tomorrow.
Love and Hugs ~ Kat
Sitka is precious.
Love your lists of eights :)
I love that picture of you with your dog. I love dog lovers. I like to journal, too. Your list is great and makes me relaxed! Thank you for tagging me. I'm on my way out of town, so I'll have to work on this next week! HOpe you can feel my prayers for you and yours. I need your prayers too at this time.
I loved your list and the photo of your precious grandbaby. I absolutely loved the photo of you and Sitka!
Praying God's best for you and your family dear friend.
Dearest Andrea,
I love your photos and I absolutely love learning more about you! You feel blessed every time I come here. You always touch my heart dear friend.
I love you.
