The Daily Ricky

When I was growing up, I used to raise Sherman Sheppard’s; my favorite one was one I called Suzie.

I had this dog trained so good, she never left my side. She would take a step only if I would.

One day, some bigger boys came into my yard and started picking on me. Suzie was asleep under the house.

They harassed me till I could take it no more and that’s when I yelled for her.

She came from underneath the house and immediately say the situation and started growling. The older boys thought nothing of her

She saw they were not scared and jumped on the biggest. She held him pinned and in his face, growled; showing her teeth. Instantly, that scared them all, the boy on the ground wet himself!

I called her off and boy did they run!

While I was away at college, she died. She just about all I asked and never complain

We have a manual called the Bible, it tells us what pleases Him but yet, we find ourselves in other places.

Suzie lived to please me and usually did, we need to live to please God!

Lord, we so often lose our objective, pleasing You! Help us all see the real purpose for being here. Amen!!!!
