The Servant's Quarters

I was working on my latest entry about our new dog when my cell phone rang. It was a call from home. Nathanael was calling to tell me that the Humane Society left a message on our answering machine.

JENNY IS STILL ALIVE!!!!!

Not only that, but she has a new home! One of the workers at the Humane Society adopted her. I don't have any other details right now, but we're going to be calling up there either today or tomorrow to find out more details.

Surprisingly, I can't help feeling a bit conflicted about this. Did we give up on her too soon? I miss her so much, but now she's no longer mine. However, we did give her up. We had the choice about taking her on, and we decided not to. We didn't take the chance. How can I resent someone else who decided to take that chance on her?

But those feelings pale in comparison to my overwhelming joy at the news! MY GIRL is alive and has a home! Thank you, Lord. You heard my prayer. I may not get to be her owner, but someone's loving her and taking care of her!

WHAT A BLESSING!
