It was a bittersweet time. She loved these dogs and laughed at the antics of the puppies who were growing more and more adventuresome each day. She sat beside Maggie on the floor and watched them indulgently. She imagined Maggie felt the same way. Cute as could be, but a bit wild. She nibbled on the cake Tate had brought, praying for happiness and a long marriage for Joe and Gillian. She hardly gave Allen a thought. Help me, Father, not be envious of what others have. I know You have a plan for me. If this is it, help me accept it with grace. Taking Maggie for a long walk just before dark helped her sleep that night. But in the morning she awoke to the feeling of impending doom. She debated attending church, but just couldn’t face anyone. Instead, she took her Bible and let it fall open. Reading Paul’s statement about the thorn in his side, she wondered if cancer was hers. She had thought Marjorie was. Paul wrote about persevering through hardships and prison. Could she do less? She would fight this invasive enemy with everything she had.
