Proverbs 17:22 A
joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.
We had a little adventure last night. Our dogs like to look out the living room
windows and bark at anything that goes by.
Right when the dialogue in the TV show I was watching became interesting
they started barking at the top of their lungs. When calling for them to hush
didn’t work I got up to see what the ruckus was about. Our neighbor’s dog Cash was on the front
porch looking in the window. Cash is
part pit bull and part something else and very playful and friendly. She also chews through her collars and leads
and escapes from time to time. I went
outside and she had a grand time running around our yard and then up to the
fence where my dogs had gathered and then around Odare’s yard. Odare’s son and a friend who’s been staying
there came out and said something to me.
I thought they said, “Rap to her.”
“You want me to rap to Cash?” I replied.
“I don’t know how to rap.” “No,
wrap your hands around her neck and hold her.
She’ll stay still for you then” they replied. Eventually her excitement wore off enough for
her to come to me when I called her and I “wrapped” my hands around her while
they brought her collar and leash. All
ended well; I was able to do a good deed and then got a laugh at the idea of
rapping commands to a dog on the run.
Thank you God that you bring laughter and joy into our
lives. Bless us this week with laughter
and some fun to help us get through all the serious and challenging
moments. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
Have
a joy-filled week.Paige
