The Tip jar continued
On Sunday afternoon Jeff heard loud dog barking in our front yard and went to investigate since we don't have a dog. There was a tiny, older lady holding her small dog over her head while a large pit bull jumped on her and nipped at her little dog. Jeff ran out and grabbed the little dog and held it much higher than the lady had been able to and he kicked at the pit bull to keep it back. Jeff, the lady and the little dog fled into our house with the pit bull barking at their heels. Jeff finally had to call 911 to get someone to come get the mean dog off our porch where it was just waiting for that poor little old lady and her dog to come out. The lady and her dog, Daisy, waited in our living room until the police finally came and took the dog (there is no animal control on Sundays I guess) As the little old lady was leaving she saw Lily's Tip jar and said, "Oh I wish I had something to put in your Tip jar! Thank you for letting me stay in your safe house." I was just happy that we do have a house that is safe, not only from mean dogs but also from the evil things of the world. I hope that is the "tip" that Lily got from that scary experience, to be of service to others and that home is a place of safety and love.

How scary for you all. I'm glad that Jeff saved the lady and her dog from the Pit Bull. Yes, it is good to have a safe place to be and I am glad that your home is your safe place. I believe that one of the prophets said to make our homes safe from the evils of the world.
