A NICE LEG O’ LAMB

Here’s a story from the Imogene (Iowa) Hub, a truly wacky monthly newspaper:

A rural family with three daughters was raising a flock of sheep. One day, one of the girls saw that a sheep had crawled under a parked pickup. She ran to Mom for help.

Mom had the girls throw rocks at the animal to get it to move out from under the truck. It wouldn’t budge.

So Mom figured it must be stuck. In front of her three little girls, she went to pull the animal out by its protruding leg.

She gave the leg a jerk . . . and it came off into her hands.

Turns out the poor thing had passed away, and had started to decompose.

Ewwww! I’m sure the little girls’ screams are still echoing. Pass the mint jelly? NOT!

Prayer request: When it rains, it pours, Lord. Strengthen and console my good friend Penny, who will have to be in pain for another week after her rotator cuff surgery until the staples come out . . . and be with her daughter-in-law, who had two precancerous skin cancers detected . . . and help Penny’s dog Cooper heal after he consumed a bunch of chocolate and nearly died . . . and help her son Rodney understand why he had to contract mono and miss a mission trip to Thailand. . . . We’re surprised that the Bible doesn’t have a verse with “uff da,” Lord. But You are sovereign, Your purposes are always good, and somehow, this will all work out for Your glory. (Psalm 46:1-3)
