I wish someone had given little Jesus a dog
as loyal and loving as mine.
to sleep by his manger and gaze in his eyes and adore him for all being divine. As our lord grew to manhood, his own faithful dog, would have followed him through the days, while he preached to the crowds to pray…
It is sad to remember that Christ went away to face his own death alone with no tender dog to following close behind to comfort it’s master’s heart, and when Jesus rose on Easter morn, how happy he would have been as his dog kissed his hand and barked it’s delight for the one who died for all men! Well,the Lord has a dog now; I just sent him mine, the old pal was so dear to me…
and I smile through my tears
on this first day alone knowing
they’re in eternity!

Love,

Your mom, angel
