Old Dinah tripped and
fell flat on her face
She felt blood in her
mouth as tried to shout.
The only sound, she
could hear, was the loud noise of the splattering rain.
Help! Lord! Help!
She kept reciting lines
from psalms 23 in her head the only thing she knew what to do before she passed
out.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the
shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy
staff they comfort me. KJV
Meanwhile, Mary, her
neighbor who lived down the road
Found herself getting
nudged to the front door.
Copper! It’s raining.
It’s not the right time to go out now!” she shouted at her dog.
He just stood still,
cocking his ear to the side and then started barking in urgency.
Scratching the door and
looking and barking intently at her...
“What is it...is
something wrong! OK go! She opened the door.
Just to see Copper
bounding off in the rain with great speed towards Dinah’s house.
Dinah! O God, please don’t
tell me something bad happen has happened to her...
Following the dog,
soaking wet, she reached Dinah’s house and heard him barking urgently inside
the house.
She too jumped in
through the open window. Shocked! She saw Dinah lying face down in a pool of
blood.
She quickly knelt down
and felt for her pulse and heaved a sigh of relief when she finally got
one.
She is still breathing,
hurry Copper, let’s get some help!
Hearing her cries and the
loud barks of the dog the other neighbors too started pouring in and together
they got Dinah to the hospital.
After a hip surgery and
four weeks in the hospital.
Dinah smiled ready to go
home.
“We had contacted your
son, Dinah
He couldn’t come but he
has asked us to send you
To a nursing home as you
are no longer fit to stay on your own, her doctor told her, breaking the news
to her as gently as he can.
No worries, doctor, she
said continuing to smile.
“Wherever I will be,
My good shepherd will
take care of me.
Continuing With a
twinkle in eye...she said
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all
the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for
ever….Ps 23...
Yes, he said, bending
down to give the old woman a hug.
“When the good shepherd
is with us there is nothing to worry about “
He said, feeling a tear
drop down his cheek as he turned to walk away.
