Home for Christmas
An amazing chain of events brought about this Christmas Miracle. Back in October a family contacted rescue about taking in their collie, Scarlett. During this time they were trying their best to keep her however the husband works out of town and the wife is expecting their second child. Finally Friday the 18th they decided it was time to bring Scarlett and let her find a new home. I was assured Scarlett was a special girl and also a certified therapy dog.
Saturday afternoon I placed Scarlett’s picture on our website and thirty minutes later an application came in from the Blackmans. They have two daughters, Anna eight and Lilly five. As I read over the application the tears started to pour and knew God’s hand was truly at work again. You see, Lilly is neutropenic (low immune system post chemotherapy) right now and here is Scarlett looking for a job where she can use her skills.
Tuesday the 22nd, Gray took Scarlett to meet the family and make sure she would be a good fit. However there was never a doubt in anyone’s mind that this was meant to be. This Christmas day Cindy and I had the privilege of taking Scarlett to her new home. We were so lucky to play apart in this Christmas Miracle.
