A stray dog had been hit by a car, a beautiful husky with blue eyes. A passerby rescued it and rushed it to the vet. The hind leg was badly damaged but the man agreed to pay the $500.00 to see if they could save the leg. The vet did all he could but the dog’s leg had to be amputated anyway. The man who rescued the dog said he couldn’t keep it, but he didn’t want to have it put to sleep. The third alternative was to give it to a rescue shelter and try to adopt it out to a good home. An older woman who walked with a cane came and adopted him and she said that since she walked with a cane she was three legged too. So they made a good match. Before long with her loving care, this dog was thriving and could run as well as if he had not had the leg amputated. Restoration--the years that the locust ate did not have the last word even in this dog’s situation. He was restored to health and a good home.
Sometimes the restoration doesn’t come back in exactly the same way to us.
