Mutt Dialing

Last night I noticed a red lump on Lacy that is in a very bad place,  for if it turns out to be another mast cell tumor, it will be inoperable.  Admittedly, it could be a harmless cyst or flea bite, however, with her history, any skin lesion is reason for concern.  Try as I might not to worry, this morning I felt so distraught. The thought of losing my constant little companion at a time when my own health is in crisis is just unimaginable.  So...I cried out to God  to PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE somehow make me feel better and help me regain my sense of peace and my trust in Him. 

 I kid you not.....I heard a tiny little voice saying "hello, hello, hello".  The voice was coming from Luke, who had just rolled over and grunted in his usual fashion.  Upon closer inspection, however, I discovered that my cell phone had fallen off my night stand and somehow when Luke had rolled over onto it he had dialed my friend Dianne!  I picked it up and said "Dianne, is that you?  I think my  dog just called you!  I can't believe it, I really need to talk to someone  right  now!"

How on earth the weight of Luke's body could possibly have not only accessed my contact list, but also to have placed the call is beyond me....but then, it's not beyond God!  

Of course, as usual I enjoyed my talk with Dianne.  She listened, and as a pet lover also could relate to my distress.  The realization, however, that God had intervened at the exact moment in time when I had cried out to Him, will last forever!  Only a fool would believe that was a coincidence.  And now I am once again filled with that sense of "peace that passes all understanding" because I know my Savior will intervene on my behalf, even when the inevitable time when my little dog and I am to be separated finally comes.  That knowledge sustains me in spite of the ups and downs of my circumstances.  When God says "draw near to me and I will draw near to you" He really means it.  

So needless to say I now feel much better, and will always remember the day when God intervened with........"Mutt dialing"  LOL!!!!!!!!
