MR LUCKY!

This is an old story of how lucky the dog, named Lucky, was. You have heard it many , many times,, kinda like some sermons,,, from home, church, teachers, or just friends ole stories.. Well, Old Lucky started his life off in a pen, of about 12 feet by 12 feet,, He was born of a "dog",, no pedigree,, of eight in the family at once! That is enough said for some now.. a family of eight in an instance! Wow, mothers,,how is ole Lucky's mom feeling! Just glad of the pen and not having to run after them.. Back to the pen,, Lucky had a pretty good home,, with that big a pen,, and someone to feed and water him... as they all played with each other all day long,, happy as can be... then someone comes, with a little one, and got one of the dogs.. Lucky just looked, wondering where they were going.. but 6 more left to play with, then one by one, the 6 disappeared, as Lucky looked on.. feeling sad and lonely now with each disappearing, to where he did not know,, Lucky was not feeling too lucky now,, but he still had mom and his owners,, but then one day, mom was gone! Lucky was really down.. He was a year old now, and one day, the gate was left open,,, He decided to take a walk,, look around and see that big black streak that kept all those loud noisy things running up and down them.. as he walked upon this black streak,, he heard a horn blowing, what was that, then he felt pain, flying through the air,, landing with a crunch.. then blacked out.. when he awoke he was in this strange place.. missing one eye, one leg.. he was hurting, thinking first , the lost of all his family,, now where was he and what was he going to do,,he was so sad and hurting so bad,, then the door opened and in walked the little boy who had been raising him,, the little boy was crying and smiling at the same time.. from somewhere Lucky got the strength to stand, wobbly and give a little bark.. and then the two was hugging.. what a sight...
The moral of this little tale,, is when you feel like you have lost all in this world,,just think of how Lucky felt, then when all else seemed so lost,, the door opens,, and in walks your little boy,, Jesus,, to the rescue to hold you and to hug you , heal you, and give you a ride of smiles and love , for the rest of your life,, and then some,, all the way to the throne of God!

WOW,, HOW WE ARE ALL SO,,,"LUCKY"!

God , I, and we, thank you for giving us , Your Son to hold on to us and care for us, to heal us, and carry us with a smile from here to there , with You...

I got up this morning, got of bed,, stopped and thought of how lucky I really am,, how blessed I am.. and then for some reason, I thought of "Ole Lucky ", and smiled, for yes , I had this old dog, three legged and all.. and as I Iimped to get that cup of coffee, I said , "thank you Lord" , then set down with a smile of my ole lucky in my mind, running wide open,, on three legs ,, and you have read the rest.. Have a great day and take Jesus with you , everywhere you go.. Thouhts are little long today.. but was in my heart!
