“Something’s Missing” | Grandma’s Stories

Aug 14th “Something’s Missing”

There is a story that I had read about a small dog, named “Mugsy” – and it was the kind of story that I thought – everyone would like to hear and or read about.

Since so many in our family have dogs and over the years have had lots of “Dogs” and since the “DOG” is man’s best friend – this story gets you to thinking about what happens when you are no longer here – on earth?

Little “MIGSY” decides to cross the street, and as you know – most dogs do not look both ways and poor little old “MUGSY” is hit by a truck. Well with all the commotion going on in the street – the owners of little “MUGSY” rush out to where he is lying in the middle of the street – and with the tragedy of this situation – “MUGSY” is past being taken to the VET’s office – so the owner’s take him to the pet cemetery and bury him. As with a family member – “MUGSY” is missed by all the family and friends – a very good friend and companion is now gone forever.

Just three days later, little “MUGSY” is at the door – all full of dirt and looking like he went through the war, all alone? Well, the owners could not believe what they were seeing – they opened the door and took little “MUGSY” in – they were so happy to see him – and little old “MUGSY” was so happy to be “HOME” – too! “MUGSY” was evidently buried alive and he had a good “HOME” and an “OWNER” who loved him – so the little pooch scratched and dug his way out of where he was buried and found his way “HOME” – and at the “DOOR” was still able to scratch – till someone opened the door for him to come in – and “LOVE” was so strong for all to be re-united again – forever!

This has a message from “Today’s Harvest Daily Devotional” – Greg Laurie – “Everyday with Jesus” – Ecclesiastes 3:11 He put Eternity in their hearts! The above story about “MUGSY” – is that in every one of us – we have that desire in our hearts – we do want to be with Jesus for all Eternity – that is our “HOME” and it is the best place – and we will do everything we can to get there someday – forever!
