Years ago, I used to walk around a park.  The park was about 3 and a quarter miles long.   I started on my walk and got 3/4 around the park when it started getting dark outside.   My heart was pounding as I realized I wasn’t back to my car yet.  You see one of my legs was hurting me too.  I felt like I was in real trouble.  So, as I was trying to get back safely I glanced down to the left-hand side of me.  I noticed that a black dog came up right in front of me while I was walking and this dog, I kid you not, looked just like my first dog when I was a little girl.  The dog’s name was Mitzie.  Now, you have to know that I used to pull Mitzie’s tail when I was a little girl but the dog never bit me.  My relatives used to tell me this.  Anyways, to get back to what I was talking about this dog took the lead in front of me until I could see my car parked in a parking area in the park.  Then as I could see my car again this black dog (my Mitzie) keep walking like nothing was happening.   I wasn’t afraid anymore and I got back to my car safely.  I stopped hyperventilating when the dog first came to me and I felt safe after that.

I believe to this day that when I asked Jesus for help that he sent me the one thing that would calm me down and so I would feel protected as the park was getting darker and darker as I was walking and that was my Mitzie dog.   Praise Jesus.

And there is more to this true story.   I was sharing my story of my Mitzie dog and the park to two other people (I don’t really know them) but I’ve shared my story with them this week and tried to give them comfort.  You see both of them had to put their dogs down because they were so sick.

You see, I told them I believe in my heart that Jesus takes their dogs to Heaven and they will see them again.   Why not, Jesus took my Mitzie dog and put him back with me so I wouldn’t be fearful in a very dark part while I was walking alone.

Jesus can send us whatever he wants to be it an angel or his holy spirit.  He doesn’t want us to be alone or be afraid.  He is always with us until the end of time.  Thank you Jesus for sending my Mitzie dog when I needed him the most.
