"My grace is sufficient for you." (2 Corinthians 12:9 NIV)
The children at Eastern Gate Farm learn that a decision about finding "just the right puppy" requires prayer, time, and patience-but unfortunately, their new puppy does not learn that in time to avoid his big mistake. Upon arrival, Mickey instantly looks to Father for guidance; thus, his farm chores are done to perfection. He becomes very confident, especially in keeping the raccoons away from the corn, not allowing them to steal it the night before harvest as they usually do. Unfortunately, his pride controls him, and he leaves the straight and narrow for the broad path that leads to his misadventure-and his subsequent fear and guilt. He falls to the depths of despair, fearful that his error will cost him the love of Father. Readers of all ages will identify with him on some level, and adults will recognize the spiritual symbolism in Mickey's heartwarming tale.
