Eddie the Terrible needs a new home. The two-year old Chihuahua is known for being bad with kids and awful with other dogs. It is noted he has mood swings and can go from “zero to Cujo” in 0.5 seconds. Does all this make Eddie unadoptable? Absolutely not, according to the Humane Society in Silicon Valley, and they are giving him a second chance. They contend, “Somewhere out there is someone whose life will be better with Eddie in it.”

Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.

Galatians 6:2

Who are the “Terrible Eddie’s” in your life? You know – those people with inflated opinions and awful social skills that irritate and annoy you? Wouldn’t it be great if you could run an advertisement and adopt them right into someone else’s life?

America will be blessed as God’s people invite His presence into their messy everyday relationships. Today, pray for a new beginning in His mercy, and ask for the grace to forgive those that snarl and bite at you. Humbly acknowledge that you were once the recipient of Christ’s forgiveness, without reservation. As you dispense grace, God will make a provision for both you and America, even if the Terrible Eddie’s are still barking.
