I love this story, Mary. The reality that thoughtfulness and empathy for others can be as easy as putting a puppy into someone's arms is just what we need to remember. I love that it came so naturally to these kids. ❤️
Wonderful, Mary. I see the scene as a short and touching video through your writing. The vision of the children running to retrieve the puppies is vivid, as is the visitors’ reaction and dismay at the range of practical and loving concern by the Yoders.
Thanks so much, Carolyn. I'm glad all of this came across. I could tell the tourists couldn't believe that people would help them like this. It does happen!!
This was such a beautiful story. I don't know why it made me so emotional. It must be your wonderful writing. We ride bikes in Amish country a lot, and everyone is so friendly.
Smiles and tears! Also I am reading and loving Heaven-and-Earth House. It is my lectio divina every morning.
I love that. Heaven-and-Earth House as lectio divina! Highest compliment.
And thanks for liking this most recent post. You are the best!
What a heartwarming story! ❤️
Thank you. Tense while it was happening, but a huge relief when it was over.
Wait. The tourists didn’t take a puppy home with them?! OMG. Think of the names they could come up with…Ditcher…Yoder…Swander…
That’s hilarious! You would have loved this scene, Julie. . ..Wrecker . .Miller. . .Milker
Wonderful story with a happy ending! Thank you, Mary!
Thanks, Richard! Great to get this kind of response from you.

Let's face it, puppy is always a cure!
Indeed. I remember Maggie and Kelly's big kisses. A cure for anything.
Thank you for this great story, Mary. Nothing like a bit of magic to bring smiles and tears to your readers!
