Lucky Dog.... >> >> Anyone who has pets will really like this. You'll >> like it even if you don't and you may even decide you >> need one! >> >> Mary and her husband Jim had a dog named >> 'Lucky.' Lucky was a real character. Whenever Mary >> and Jim had company come for a weekend visit, they would >> warn their friends to not leave their luggage open because >> Lucky would help himself to whatever struck his fancy. >> Inevitably, someone would forget and something would come up >> missing. >> >> Mary or Jim would go to Lucky's toy box in the >> basement and there the treasure would be, amid all of >> Lucky's other favorite toys. Lucky always stashed his >> finds in his toy box and he was very >> particular that his toys stay in the box. >> >> It happened that Mary found out she had breast cancer. >> Something told her she was going to die of this >> disease....in fact , she was just sure it was fatal. >> >> She scheduled the double mastectomy, fear riding her >> shoulders. The night before she was to go to the hospital >> she cuddled with Lucky. A thought struck her...what would >> happen to Lucky? Although the three-year-old dog liked Jim, >> he was Mary's dog through and through. If I die, Lucky >> will be abandoned, Mary thought. He won't understand >> that I didn't want to leave him! The thought made her >> sadder than thinking of her own death. >> >> The double mastectomy was harder on Mary than her >> doctors had anticipated and Mary was hospitalized for over >> two weeks. Jim took Lucky for his evening walk faithfully, >> but the little dog just drooped, whining and miserable. >> >> Finally the day came for Mary to leave the hospital. >> When she arrived home, Mary was so exhausted she >> couldn't even make it up the steps to her bedroom. Jim >> made his wife comfortable on the couch and left her to nap. >> Lucky stood watching Mary but he didn't come to her when >> she called. It made Mary sad but sleep soon overcame her >> and she dozed. >> >> When Mary woke for a second she couldn't understand >> what was wrong. She couldn't move her head and her body >> felt heavy and hot. But panic soon gave way to laughter when >> Mary realized the problem. She was covered, literally >> blanketed, with every treasure >> Lucky owned! While she had slept, the sorrowing dog had >> made trip after trip to the basement bringing his beloved >> mistress all his favorite things in life. He had covered >> her with his love. >> >> Mary forgot about dying. Instead she and Lucky began >> living again, walking further and further together every >> day. It's been 12 years now and Mary is still >> cancer-free. Lucky? He still steals treasures and stashes >> them in his toy box but Mary remains his greatest treasure. >> >> Remember....live every day to the fullest. Each minute >> is a blessing from God. And never forget....the people who >> make a difference in our lives are not the ones with the >> most credentials, the most money, or the most awards. They >> are the ones that care for us. How can we NOT praise Him - Marilyn |

. . . When we were redeemed, we were called to make disciples, raising them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord, so they in turn may do likewise. Saying I am sorry is WORTHLESS without real repentance. True or FALSE ? Without a personal and intimate relationship with God, how can you ever realize the true identity and person of God? Continue to be faithful, deliverance is near, obedience must be seen, be an unconditional blessing as He continues to bless you. This time is short, serve Him well, serving all. Without exception. Know ? Yes ? ? .
