SHE COULD BE PRACTICING FOR LASSIE TRYOUTS

She stands up a lot at work, and she came home that night with aching feet. She changed into her play clothes, and sat on the floor of her closet rummaging around for the arch inserts for her running shoes.

Then she remembered that they were inside another pair of shoes laying under a pile of clothes she had worn while painting a room. That pile was several feet away from the closet. But she was sooooo tired. So instead of standing up and walking over there, she just crawled over on her hands and knees.

She had just come to a stop when she saw her husband’s workboots . . . with him in them . . . and her eyes traveled all the way up to his face, which was displaying a bemused smile.

He walked away, but turned and said with a twinkle in his eyes, "I really don't need to know."

Marriage: sometimes, keeping your dignity can be . . . rrrruff.

Prayer request: Speaking of cute canines, an old friend’s char-pei, Fred, is really sick. His fever was 106 degrees. His “folks” rushed him down to the Kansas State veterinary experts. But they can’t figure out what’s wrong. Father God, we know he’s only a dog. But You made all creatures, great and small, including Fred. They’re all good, including him. He is loved, and he is special. We pray for an end to this mysterious malady so that he can continue to give joy to so many people. (1 Timothy 4:4)
