This is a cute story that my Wife found in a Christian magazine called "Angels on Earth". She Emailed it to me and I thought I would share.
Well I just thought that I would share that with you and to say that there are angels among us to lead us in our walk with God.
"Lord did you send this Dog?"
a Story by Ali M. Gibson
"Mail Carriers often need protection from dogs. Not this one"
My Husband George and I with our 4 children lived in Government housing in New Orleans La. Money was tight that Christmas with George working part time, So I asked God to show me a way to add to our income. When an ad appeared in the newspaper asking for temporary mail carriers to work for 10 days,2000 people applied 200 were selected and was one of them!.
"Desire Street Lord?" I asked when I got my assignment. Desire was only 2 blocks from our end of the project,but I always avoided it. I was once went to shop in the big market there but had to turn back because the streer and sidewalks were blocked by big water and debri filled holes. There were also small dark bars along the way, and gangs of youth who stood around looking angry and bored. How would I survive those 10 days.?
While saying my morning prayers on Day 1, God spoke to me:"I am the Lord the God of all flesh; is anything too hard for me?" " Oh no, Lord With you all things are possible." I kissed the kids goodbye and confidently walked out the door. But as I stepped off the curb to across the street my reasurance dissolved.
Just then, I saw him. A dog. Big and mud yellow. A beautiful animal. I had never seen him in our neighborhood before. He was sitting on the opposite side of the corner,watching me. "Hi Boy!" I called. He got up and stood by my side. I stroked his head for a minute, then said "I've got a job to do." Boy fell into stride beside me. I expected him to go bounding off at any minute. But he walked with me the whole 2 blocks to Desire.
I held my breath and rounded the corner. Boy turned also,staying close. The dog went every step of the way along the route,even into the dismal bars.
After delivering the mail,Boy and I walked back to the corner opposite of my street. There he sat down. I patted his head and crossed to the other side. He did not follow."Lord" I wondered aloud."did you send this dog?"
The 2nd day Boy was there again, awaiting on his corner. Each day the same spot,same procedure,never leaving my side,but never going any farther than the corner at the end of my workday."He must be an angel dog," I said to my family.
After making my rounds on day 10 I hugged Boy's hard thivk neck and praised him."Whoever you are,Boy," I said," I Love you." As usual he sat and watched me walk into our house.
The next morning I couldn't resist going out to look at Boy's spot. There was no sign of him. His work too was done.
