Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say,

rejoice !

Philippians 4:4

My name is Grace, known as Gracie the golden retriever. I am three years old. I think

you’ve heard about me from my person, Edward Grinnan. Today I want to talk about

my tail. Dogs have them. Humans don’t. There are reasons for that.

You wouldn't believe how many ways I use my tail. When I am happy, it wags like

crazy. I have no control over it! Sometimes when I am really happy , my whole back

end wags. I think there is no greater expression of joy in the world than a wagging tail.

Dogs wear our hearts on our tails, that’s for sure. If I am having a good dream, my tail

wags even though I am asleep!

If I am sad or disappointed, my tail droops. Its like I’m just too down to even raise it.

Not all wagging is happy or sad. Trust me on this. I wag slowly when I am uncertain

about something, like if other dogs will allow me to sniff them. Occasionally I

misinterpret other dogs’ wags. I’ve run into trouble because of that. I must be more

sensitive to others!

As noted, it’s a good thing people don’t have tails. I think people would put too much

importance on them. They’d spend lots of money on tail grooming products and tail

ornaments. Their tails would be status symbols. I also worry that people with certain

sorts of tails would not like people with different tails. There would be tail prejudice!

Maybe this is why God did not give people tails. Dogs don’t do this. We respect all

tails, even those short and stubby ones. All tails are important!

A tail is good for many things. But most of all, it’s how we dogs smile at the world.

Hardly a day goes by, Lord, when the dog You gave me doesn’t teach me something.

Help me be more like she is, seeing the world with an open, excepting heart.

Edward Grinnan

The Gold Wrapping Paper - An Inspirational Short Christmas Story

Once upon a time, there was a man who worked very hard just to keep food on the table for his family. This particular year a few days before Christmas, he punished his little five-year-old daughter after learning that she had used up the family's only roll of expensive gold wrapping paper.

As money was tight, he became even more upset when on Christmas Eve he saw that the child had used all of the expensive gold paper to decorate one shoebox she had put under the Christmas tree. He also was concerned about where she had gotten money to buy what was in the shoebox.

Nevertheless, the next morning the little girl, filled with excitement, brought the gift box to her father and said, "This is for you, Daddy!"

As he opened the box, the father was embarrassed by his earlier overreaction, now regretting how he had punished her.

But when he opened the shoebox, he found it was empty and again his anger flared. "Don't you know, young lady," he said harshly, "when you give someone a present, there's supposed to be something inside the pack-age!"

The little girl looked up at him with sad tears rolling from her eyes and whispered: "Daddy, it's not empty. I blew kisses into it until it was all full."

The father was crushed. He fell on his knees and put his arms around his precious little girl. He begged her to forgive him for his unnecessary anger.

An accident took the life of the child only a short time later. It is told that the father kept this little gold box by his bed for all the years of his life. Whenever he was discouraged or faced difficult problems, he would open the box, take out an imaginary kiss, and remember the love of this beautiful child who had put it there.

In a very real sense, each of us has been given an invisible golden box filled with unconditional love and kisses from our children, family, friends and God. There is no more precious possession anyone could hold.
