Your Dying Spouse 714 - A Small Gift

This morning when I opened the front door, Navajo Girl was there, waiting for breakfast.

She's owned by a Navajo family down the street, and their other dogs don't like her much; they beat her up when they can.

So she comes here.

There's a history, and what meaning there is to Christmas, maybe it starts with this.

A puppy caught up in the fence,

and when I set her free,

I received my recompense:

she crapped all over me.

She ran back home a-crying,

But this was not the end,

and there’s no denying

That I have made a friend.

In the morn she’ll patient, sit

outside the garden gate

to see how much food I fit

upon her breakfast-plate.

Perhaps this is the Yuletide essence:

a gracious, small and friendly presence.

Music from Jars of Clay, with Love Came Down At Christmas.

Thanks to Carol Ashby, Blessed Are The Pure Of Heart is back on Kindle, and will be available in paperback soon.

Friends are everything. I couldn't have done it.
