Tammie and the pill
A buddy that I grew up with had a dog named Tammie. The dog had some sort of ear infection,and had to take pills. They couldn't get this dog to swallow the pills no matter what they did. I told them that I would take care of it. So I had them give me a couple pieces of meat,threw them to the dog one at at time,the dog caught them in the air,swallowed them,not knowing that the second piece contained the pill.My buddies' family were beside themselves.You'd have thought I had cured a disease or something. As a matter of fact,my sister ran into my friend's mom and sister(this was a couple years ago,and some 20 years after the pill episode),and they mentioned the pill to her. A seemingly insignificant thing to me still had an impact on others 20 years later. A sobering thought,for sure. Lord help me to realize that those things that I say and do,no matter how small,no matter how insignificant,may impact other lives. Please help those words and deeds to be good,loving,helpful,encouraging,reflecting YOU to those I contact.
