Hi, precious friends!

We had to take Rusty & Kayla to the vet's office on Thursday. In the lobby was this beautiful poem.  I read it, and immediately got tears in my eyes. The author is unknown, but it is simply beautiful, so I wanted to share it with you.  I pray you are blessed by it, as I was!

YSIC!

If Christ Had a Dog

I wonder if Christ had a dog,

all curly and wooly like mine,

with two silken ears and a nose round and wet,

with two eyes that glisten and shine?

I'm sure if He had---the dog knew

right from the start He was God,

and needed no proof that He was divine,

but just worshipped the ground that He trod.

I'm afraid He hadn't, because I have read,

how He prayed in the Garden, alone;

for all of His friends and disciples had fled,

even Peter, the one called a "stone".

And oh, I'm sure that friendly dog,

with a heart so tender and warm,

would never have left Him to suffer alone;

but creeping right under His arm...

would have licked those dear fingers in agony clasped,

and counting all favors but lost,

when they led Him away would have trotted along,

and died at the foot of the Cross.
