This is Fruitycake. I am a dog. But there are a lot of things that I still notice and see. Like how the persons seem to be pretty fearful lately. There are many things to be afraid of in the world right now.
I can be afraid sometimes too. Like I don’t care for big crowds. Or loud noises. I don’t like raised voices or arguing. I don’t like persons rushing around. But I’m not afraid of the wild pigs. Don’t get me started on that.
But as many things as I am afraid of, I also have faith in my persons to protect me. I have faith that they care for me and that they love me.
Although I know they can’t save me from everything in life that I am afraid of, I do know they love me and that they will do their best to make sure I am ok. So I can choose fear or faith each day. And I choose faith.
Brickle wasn’t afraid of much.
But what he was afraid of…he was really afraid of. Like thunderstorms. And he was very. Very…very of them.
He would get so scared that he wouldn’t listen to anyone. He could not function above his fear. He would stay up all night. I felt bad for him. And I didn’t understand how someone so strong could be afraid. But I am starting to understand more.
Everyone is afraid of something. Everyone. And you can let fear of what’s going to happen bad next overwhelm you. Or you can let faith guide you that you control what you can.
And what you can’t, you have to trust in yourself and whatever you believe in.
We all need each other more than ever right now. And I’m here for you.
I may be just one dog. But this one dog loves you a lot.
And you can have faith in that.

Dear Fruity,
Sometimes my fear of ‘what if’ really gets to me. I imagine that all kind of bad things could happen instead of, as they say, Look on the bright side of life! I’m learning to analyze where my fear comes from and usually realize that my fear is for others, not that I’m in danger. Then, I let go and let God deal with it. It works most of the tine.
