Streaker's Testimony

Hellohttp://media-files.gather.com/images/d2/d38/d746/d224/d96/f3/full.jpg

 

Friends,

Just a quick note.  Today, Streaker joined me at church (Calvary Baptist in Le Roy, NY) to give her thanks and testimony.  The first time I attended Calvary Baptist, I spoke up, asked for continued prayer and explain the miracle of how my dog fell 110' (11 stories) off a river gorge into the Genesee River, and survived.  All of Gather was praying for her too.

The accident was six weeks ago yesterday.  Five weeks ago the orthopedic surgeon/vet suggested that she may be walking on her own by January with enough sufficient care, rest and attention.  Two weeks ago, much to the vet's amazement, the vet removed her last brace and scheduled her for one more set of x-rays for Nov. 9th.

Today, she walked to church with me.  She met each family of the church and with a little tail-wagging and a couple of well=placed barks, shared her testimony to the congregation about how the Lord sent angels to catch her fall and how the power of prayer and well-wishes from friends and strangers alike really do work.  After the service, Streaker joined the church for pie, cheese, and crackers.

And now I am sharing her testimony with you.

God Bless,

- Robert B.    (& Streaker)

Streaker is a beautiful dog.
Kerrell g. Nov 3, 2009, 5:35pm EST
Well done, Robert. Streaker will never be accused of being a heathen!
Erin O'Riordan Nov 3, 2009, 5:37pm EST
Kerrell, you say heathen like it's a bad thing!
Ruthi C. Nov 1, 2009, 12:35pm EST
Streaker and you have given a wondrous testimony to the Goodness of God and the kindness of the people of His earth. Have a blessed Sunday Robert!
MrsRoad Runner Nov 1, 2009, 12:44pm EST
This is really cool your pup survived, please though give the vet and the money for the surgeries some credit.
Robert - just a simple man - B. Nov 1, 2009, 12:48pm EST
Which I have done in all my earlier posts. This post was about her church visit and her spiritual testimony.
Robert - just a simple man - B. Nov 2, 2009, 4:30pm EST
Oh, btw, there were no surgeries, the surgeries would have cost more than $5000. No it's just been vet care, rehab, and the thing that amazed the vet the most (in his own words): the dog's own self-healing powers. So, you see, I am grateful for the influx of financial help and of course the wisdom and knowledge of the vet. But, for the healings part, (speed of recovery) that the vet cannot understand; I'm calling it God.
Aman V. Nov 6, 2009, 12:31pm EST
Those self-healing powers you mention spring from her being such a spiritual doggie, Robert - something I think I also happened to mention in a comment on one of your earlier posts on Streaker.

She is more humane than many "humans" I see and know here in this city. I've felt this quality in her all along.

Streaker, you ain't no ornery canine, beautiful doggie!

Thanks so much for posting this fresh signpost on Streaker's road to recovery, Robert. Love her dearly! ((((((((((((((((((((Streaker)))))))))))))
Bethann K. Nov 1, 2009, 12:45pm EST
I'm so glad that Streaker is okay.
Lindy T. Nov 1, 2009, 1:04pm EST
This just makes me so happy, Robert. Wish I could have been in that church today to hear it and to show Streaker some love. What a wonderful miracle.
Marilyn M. Nov 1, 2009, 1:07pm EST
That's awesome, Robert.
Debbie W. Nov 1, 2009, 1:14pm EST
That was some fall. So glad she made such a quick recovery
Randall C. Nov 1, 2009, 1:15pm EST
Wow, outstanding news Robert...
Sharon P. Nov 1, 2009, 1:23pm EST
God bless you both, she really is a living testimony of His mercy.
Kris P. Nov 1, 2009, 2:22pm EST
That is so touching, she certainly was in the arms of an angel. I'm sure the congregations loved meeting her today!
So true, never under-estimate the power of prayer. But, for the grace of God, go I.

Good job, Brother, wish I'd been there to see it and hear it.
Georgiana S. Nov 1, 2009, 3:13pm EST
she is one amazing pup!
Robert - just a simple man - B. Nov 1, 2009, 6:15pm EST
She thinks she is. LOL
Cynthia Isis A. Nov 1, 2009, 3:52pm EST
My Streaker is a our miracle girl and I thank the Angels and those who prayed and yes...it shows the power of LOVE AND PRAYER does work to bring about great miracles!

Hey Robert, what kind of pie did you all have? very nice day and glad you are having such a great experience with your new church and friends. Glad Streaker is healing so well. I so appreciate this testimony you and Streaker have shared with us here.

Robert, God is so good, all the time, when we are on the mountain top or in the valley. He loves us and wants our best. I will always thank HIm for what He's done for Streaker and for you. Without Him we wouldn't make it, but with Him all things are possible. Streaker you are a walking miracle I'm glad you give God the glory. Take care of yourself and my brother.

Faith does work miracles!
Samuel W. Nov 2, 2009, 5:25am EST
Thank God for faith and prayer. As much as a vet and money may be a part of this story, when we come befor God asking in faith, He gives us the tools we need, wether it is money and a vet or a miracale healing. To God be the glory.
Robert - just a simple man - B. Nov 2, 2009, 4:33pm EST
You bet, I just left a new comment above of how the vet himself said she was healing amazingly. Yeah, amazingly. I call it amazing grace(fully). lol

Thanks.
Elizabeth R. Nov 2, 2009, 9:28am EST

What an awesome testimony! How can we believe that God does not love us? Especially when we have so much compassion for all His creation.

What a beauty!

God is so very faithful!
Robert - just a simple man - B. Nov 8, 2009, 1:29pm EST
Thanks Ruthe!
