Lucky Dog
Contributed by Dr. Larry Petton on Mar 15, 2022 (message contributor)
A family put the following ad in the "Lost and Found" section of the paper:
"Lost Dog: Crippled in front paw, blind in left eye, mange on back and neck, tail missing. Recently neutered. Answers to the name 'Lucky'".
He truly was a lucky dog, because in spite of all that was wrong with him, somebody loved him enough to want him.
Actually, we're all lucky dogs. Even better, we're blessed dogs. God loves us out of sheer grace. Marvel of marvels! Wonder of wonders! God loves us with an everlasting love.
