BIG MIRACLE in a TINY BLACK PACKAGE!!

This evening has turned into a very different and unexpected series of events. I'll back up to say that what happened was actually everything we'd planned to happen, but the way it has come about was nothing like we'd anticipated. The event was a new addition to our family...a beautiful black lab puppy. Rachel, our 17 year old was determined that if we would agree to letting her get a puppy that she would take FULL responsibility... (I wonder if any of you have ever heard this???!!) Anyway, at a weak moment, her father agreed to it! So, tonite was supposed to be the big night. She spent all morning buying dog paraphanalia! It was like a 'Puppy Shower' By the time she arrived at work at 3PM, she was so 'Dog Hyped' that she could hardly work... THEN BOOM, about 4:30 the Bomb dropped. She received a phone call from the middle man family that was helping her to adopt the puppy. The current family who could no longer keep her---OR SO WE THOUGHT...Hence, the bomb! The family had changed their minds and decided that they would keep the dog. I looked across the room and saw her big brown eyes begin to well up with HUGE ELEPHANT tears!! It was as if my own heart was being ripped out. This was my baby and she had so much excitement and it was as if her heart was crying out, "But he was supposed to be MY dog." My mind immediately saw her pain and related it to her boyfriends family. After having waited for over 6 years to adopt a little girl the baby was seen by the birth mother, who in turn, changed her mind. I knew that I had no choice but to call the human society and start our own adoption process. As soon as we finished work, we were on a dog trail! Much to our surprise, they had a puppy EXACTLY like the one she was supposed to have gotten! What a GOD-SEND! I was so thankful that all I could say was Praise God for using a little puppy to bring such a BIG smile!
