Here is something I came across today
-&-
it was just to good not to share!?!
Our 14-year-old dog Abbey died last month!?!
The day after she passed away my 4-year-old daughter Meredith was crying and talking about how much she missed Abbey!?!
She asked if we could write a letter to God so that when Abbey got to heaven, God would recognize her!?!
I told her that I thought we could so, and she dictated these words:
Dear God,
Will you please take care of my dog!?!
She died yesterday -&- is with you in heaven.!?!
I miss her very much!?!
I am happy that you let me have her as my dog even though she got sick!?!
I hope you will play with her!?! She likes to swim -&- play with balls!?!
I am sending a picture of her so when you see her you will know that she is my dog!?!
I really miss her!?!
Love, Meredith
We put the letter in an envelope with a picture of Abbey -&- Meredith -&- addressed it to God!?!
That afternoon she dropped it into the letter box at the post office!?! A few days later, she asked if God had gotten the letter yet. I told her that I thought He had!?!
Yesterday, there was a package wrapped in gold paper on our front porch addressed, 'To Meredith' in an unfamiliar hand.!?! Meredith opened it. Inside was a book by Mr. Rogers called, 'When a Pet Dies.' Taped to the inside front cover was the letter we had written to God in its opened envelope!?! On the opposite page was the picture of Abbey -&- Meredith -&- this note:
Dear Meredith,
Abbey arrived safely in heaven!?!
Having the picture was a big help -&- I recognized her right away!?!
Abbey isn't sick anymore!?!
Her spirit is here with me just like it stays in your heart!?!
Abbey loved being your dog!?!
Since we don't need our bodies in heaven, I don't have any pockets to keep your picture in so I am sending it back to you in this little book for you to keep -&- have something to remember Abbey by!?!
Thank you for the beautiful letter -&- thank your mother for helping you write it -&- sending it to me!?!
What a wonderful mother you have!?!
I picked her especially for you!?!
I send my blessings every day -&- remember that I love you very much!?!
By the way, I'm easy to find!?! I am wherever there is love!?!
Love,
God
Today I am thankful for heart warming stories like the previous one that make us remember how pure the heart of a child really is!?!
