A Funny Story About A Man And His Very Special Dog Named Mace!
There was once a handyman who had a dog named Mace. Mace was a great dog, except he had one weird habit: he liked to eat grass — not just a little bit, but in quantities that would make a lawnmower blush. And nothing, it seemed, could cure him of it. One day, the handyman lost his wrench in the tall grass while working outside. He looked and looked, but it was nowhere to be found.
As it was getting dark, he gave up for the night and decided to look the next morning. When he awoke, he went outside and saw that his dog had eaten all the grass around where he had been working, and his wrench now lay in plain sight, glinting in the sun.
Going out to get his wrench, he called the dog over and said, “A grazing Mace, how sweet the hound, that saved a wrench for me.”
A dog is man’s best friend! They love you unconditionally, they are always happy for you, they do not argue with you, they lick your face, they are always ready to play, they are loyal, they are never too busy, they are a great companion, and they are a great friend who is always around when you need them. Have you ever wondered if dogs go to heaven? I was told that dogs do not have souls because only people do, which means dogs might not be in heaven. But I would like that. But you have a soul, and you will be welcomed to heaven someday.
In 2007, my pastor Ron Sauer and his wife Sue saw how depressed I was due to my wife giving up on our marriage. Ron and Sue encouraged me to encourage others. They were wise to know that if I reached out to help others, my problems would be put into perspective. I took their advice and it really helped! I trust you will find the encouragement you need here on our website. You can also call Need Him Phone Ministry 800-633-3446 or the Billy Graham prayer line 877-772-4559. God bless you!
