God’s plans…

…are greater than ours. Yesterday I was witness to God’s plans for my doggies (Tinker Bell) and (Peter Pan) and can vouch that God has a definite and beautiful plan for all of us on this earth. Be it you, me, my neighbor, friends, enemies or for that matter, any one on this earth – God has a perfect plan for each one of us.

We were extremely excited when we got Tinker Bell and Peter Pan at home on 1st September, 2012. But soon enough they were turning out to be big menace – they were destroying each and every possible thing at our home – we were finding it exceedingly difficult to handle them. You name it, and they have destroyed it – sometimes it would be so very frustrating for all of us, especially me, to clean up their mess, that I would be in tears and wonder why they were being so destructive and messy. From dog lovers, we were turning out to be dog haters.

So many times we tried to give them away but nothing was working out. We tried the adaptation camp, speaking to NGOs and friends, but nothing was working out. And here I was growing frustrated each passing day because of their messy and destructive nature.

Then during Signature Mumbai Holy Spirit showed me the way out – I spoke to my CEO about them and asked whether he would be interested in keeping them in his farmhouse. By the grace of God, and according to His perfect plan for Tinker Bell and Peter Pan, he readily agreed. But still we had to wait awhile for the fencing work to begin at his farmhouse. The work is still on but yesterday all of us went to Alibaug to leave the dogs there.

While I give this testimony, I am very sure that because of God’s perfect plan for the doggies, He wasn’t allowing us to give away the dogs to any Tom, Dick and Harry. God wanted us to hand over the dogs to a sensible and reliable person like my CEO in who’s farmhouse the dogs will be safe and well taken care of. He’s also a dog lover the way we are and will never mistreat them. So I am so very happy for them both.

Though initially they will have to suffer little bit to get accustomed to the surroundings and people, they will soon get used to it. I am sure they are going through this wee bit of suffering again because God knows they have a wonderful future ahead. They are the only dogs at that place right now and once they are left loose, they will be ruling the place. They have wonderful broccoli, auburgine, tomato, bottle gourd, bitter gourd, watermelon plantations and I am sure the doggies will have a gala time there. They are placed next to the kitchen and surely Tinker Bell will enjoy that because she just loves food. Peter Pan, a lover of corners, has a corner all for himself. There’s a big swimming pool and wonderful play area for them. The lavish surrounding is just too good – a haven for them. I am so glad for them both and all this happened to accomplish the perfect plan God always had for them right from the time of their conception – their mother died and they both came to our home, and we loved them a lot. Now they have gone to Alibaug – and have an open lavish farmhouse to take care of – how lucky they are!

And all this was accomplished yesterday – Palm Sunday – Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem and also their triumphant entry into my CEO’s farmhouse in Alibaug. This is the Holy Week – they might have to suffer a bit while the fencing is being done but I am sure by Easter Morning they too will resurrect with the Lord and be the kings of that place and have the entire farmhouse for them. Halleluia…

Lord Jesus, thank you so much for finding such a wonderful home for Tinker Bell and Peter Pan.

“For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon me…”
