POSTAL SERVICE STORY


Our dog, Abbey, died August 23, and the day after Abbey died, my 4

year old, Meredith, was SO upset. She wanted to write a letter to

God so that He would recognize Abbey in heaven. She told me what to

write, and I did.


Then she put 2 pictures of Abbey in the envelope. We addressed it

to God in Heaven, put two stamps on it because, as she said, it

could be a long way to heaven. We put our return address on it, and

I let her put it in the drop box at the post office that afternoon.

She was absolutely sure that letter would get to heaven, and

I wasn't about to disillusion her.


So today is Labor Day. We took the kids to the museum in Austin,

and when we came home, there was a package wrapped in gold on our

front porch. It was addressed to Meredith.

So... she took it inside and opened it. Inside was a book, When

Your Pet Dies by Mr. Rogers (Fred Rogers). Inside the front cover

was the letter we had written to God, in its opened envelope. On

the opposite page was one of the pictures of Abbey taped on the

page. On the back page was the other picture of Abbey, and this

handwritten note on pink paper:


"Dear Meredith, I know that you will be happy to find out that

Abbey arrived safely and soundly in heaven. Having the pictures you

sent to me was a big help! I recognized Abbey right away!

You know, Meredith,

she isn't sick anymore. Her spirit is here with me, just like it

stays in your heart... young and running and playing. Abbey loved

being your dog, you know.



Since we don't need our bodies in heaven, I don't have any pockets

to keep things in. So... I am sending you your beautiful letter

back with the pictures so that you will have this little memory

book to keep. One of my angels is taking care of this for me. I

hope this little book will help.


Thank you for your beautiful letter. Thank your mother for sending it.

What a wonderful mother you have. I picked her especially for you.


Signed,

God


This is a true story, I love that we have angels among us, some of

them even work at the Post Office!

Scoot, I didn't need to cry today! That's the beauty of people. They show up at just the right time! The people at the PO had a hand at that answer. Some of us are compelled to do things that we can't explain until later. I know the answer however.

cool. Thanks for sharing.

When the emotions of God drift over people, people become representatives of God. Really nice story.
