A Christmas Story: My Christmas Miracle

mybordercolliemyheart · 12-11-2011, 07:38 AM

Some May say I am grasping for something, looking to hard, wanting,or needing. People may say what they want, everyone is certainly entitled to what they believe. I have a strong faith I God. I do Miss My Baby Girl Bing everyday, But I do not obssess over her loss the way I did in the first four monthe when I lost her. She does cross my mind now and then especially when something triggers a memory about her like when we were decorting our house for Christmas and I stumbled upon her Stocking. Something happened this past Friday which I would like to share with you all which i believa was a Divine intervention. This is my Christmas Story, My Christmas Miracle.
On Friday I had to pay a visit to our vet to pick up some canned dog food and some stocking stuffers for our fur babies. As i was standing there surveying the tasty treats, I heard the door to the small mountain clinic open. I turned around and there i saw a woman walking in with a border collie that looked EXACTLY LIKE BING!!!! I dropped to my knees and began to sob and cried out " Oh my gosh , She is so beautiful, may I pet her? " The lady replied " Of course you can" The border collie immediatly dropped to the floor on her side and spread open her legs for me to pet her tummy like Bing always used to do and was smiling. Her mannerisms mimiced Bing to a tee. The lady watched me cry as I pet her and listened to my story of Bing's stomach cancer and how she had beaten the odds with Dr. cheryl's helped and had such a wonderful quality of life right up to the very end. the Lady told me she had rescued Mia when she was a year old and knew nothing about Border Collies and their intelligence......astory that parrallelled ours to a tee!!!!!!After I was done loving on Mia, i stood up and so did Mia and she planted kisses upon my lips like Bing had done so many times before then put her paws up on the counter to where my beef tracheas sat on top of my canned dog food just like My naughty Bing would have done. I thanked the lady for sharing Mia with me. As I left..I thanked God for what I KNEW was an earthly visit from Bing that day.........My Christmas Miracle!!!

My Dear, Special Friend,
I know you have been feeling sad remembering all the Christmases you shared with your precious Bing and thank you for sharing this story with each of us.
It truly was a "divine intervention" and Bing's "soul" was inside Mia for that short earthly visit with you. She was letting you know that she was okay and she saw your tears when you opened the box with her Christmas stocking inside.
God does work in mysterious ways and when your faith is strong as yours is, He comes to you and lets you know that everything will be okay. Tears are okay, missing someone as special as Bing was to your life brings those tears at this time of the year.
I hope when you sit and look at your Christmas tree and share time with your wonderful family and your fur babies, you will FEEL Bing right there with you.
This indeed was a "miracle" and I am so happy for you my friend. Mia gave you the reassurance that Bing indeed lives on forever in your heart and your mind.
God Bless you.

Love,
Joanne & Shadow

Oh Lisa, I'm so sorry you're missing Bing. It sounds like Bing and heaven allowed you a short reunion. What a lovely Christmas gift. Bing has not left or forgotten you, she just went somewhere where there is no pain or cancer or old age. She had to, she didn't have a choice. But she's near and keeping watch over you, and I truly believe we'll see our dogs again.

God is love, and dogs give us a pure love that's not tainted by judgments or ulterior motives. God being love, he would not destroy love, and therefore I believe our loving dogs continue on the other side.

Bing will have a cancer and pain free Christmas this year, and I'm sure she'll be spending it with you, even though your eyes can't see her.

Aw Thanks Joanne and Stetsonsmom...It really left me with such a peace and calm inside...just what I needed!! I know she is safe and happy and pain-free....and truly with me always...God sure does work in mysterious ways. His time is not our time...prayers will be answered in his time and He chose the perfect time to let me know She was safe and happy in His loving arms!! :-)))
