Even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters’ table.
Matthew 15:27b
The story of Ima Hogg, the “First Lady of Texas” is well known; sometimes not for her enormous generosity, philanthropy, and blessings to Houston and Texas, but because of her unfortunate name.
But we can take that which may be seen as a detriment and be extremely blessed by it!
In the Gospel for today, Jesus tells a women that “it is not right to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.” The women doesn’t dispute that she’s a dog, but responds with one of the greatest statements of faith and truth in Scripture; “Yes, Lord, yet even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master’s table.”
Crumbs of God’s grace is more than enough!!
With that truth, I can proud say, “Ima Dogg!”
