For the gift bestowed upon us by the means of many persons thanks may be given.<\/em> <\/span>\u20142 Corinthians 1:11<\/span><\/p>\n

It was a wonderful Easter. Morning worship at our son Patrick\u2019s church in Texas featured an excellent choir and inspiring sermon. Our daughter-in-law Patricia prepared a veritable feast for dinner.<\/p>\n

Our traditional family egg hunt\u2014held indoors because of spring snowflakes\u2014ended with only two children in tears, and they were soon comforted.\u2028Then my husband Don said, \u201cWe need to head home, so we can stop in Amarillo and get Penney\u2019s Easter surprise.\u201d<\/p>\n

I looked at Don, then at my smiling children and grandchildren. My heart dropped to my toes. Without thinking I blurted out, \u201cNot a dog! It better not be a dog! The last thing I want or need is something else to take care of.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shock, hurt and dismay registered on every face. I tried to backtrack but, of course, I couldn\u2019t undo the damage. Finally Don said, \u201cWill you at least look at her?\u201d<\/p>\n

I agreed, and Patrick found an old cat carrier for us, \u201cjust in case.\u201d You can guess what happened: I met a fat, wiggly ball of fur and promptly fell in love with Tarby, a golden chow.<\/p>\n

Is she something else to care for? Oh yes. She has to be fed, watered, groomed, walked, and trained. Is she worth it? Absolutely. Her wagging tail and yips of \u201chello\u201d never fail to lift my spirits. She\u2019s always ready to walk along with me or sit silently beside me. If I go away, whether for an hour or a week, she joyously welcomes me home.<\/p>\n

The gift I didn\u2019t want turned out to be the next-to-best Easter surprise ever.<\/p>\n

Gracious God, thank You for giving all of us the most precious Easter gift of all in the resurrection of Your only Son, Jesus the Christ.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
