WHO LOVES YOU, BABY?

The new puppy is still unnamed, although suggestions are mounting: “Cuddles,” “Buttons,” “Shelby” and “Wagner” came in Tuesday.

She pounces on dry leaves out in the yard like a lion cub, and cuddles up against anyone who’ll hold her. Happiness really is a warm puppy!

Yesterday, Mom sprawled out on the floor for several minutes, playing with the little puppy. Maddy, 4 ½, joined in for a little bit, and then went across the room to do something else for a while.

Minutes later, still absorbed in the puppy, Mom was aware that glaring, ominous, laser eyeballs of jealous rage were trained on her.

“You love our new puppy more than you love me!” Maddy wailed.

Good thing the puppy’s so little, I had room in my arms for them both.

Prayer request: Cushion Penny’s intense pain, Lord, after her successful rotator cuff surgery Tuesday, and help her focus on Your love and provision . . . thank You that Paul, a local pastor, was able to go home from the hospital after being catheterized for spasms in his cardiac arteries . . . and thank You that Patrick is able to go back to work after his coronary bypass surgery. We praise Your faithfulness in caring for each of these believers. (Hebrews 10:23)
