Miracles, The Power of the Web, Selfless Love and Acts of Kindness

On Tuesday Kahu snuck out the front door. The search for her created this story. I received so many acts of kindness from so many people while I hunted for her.

A local constable was helpful and on the look out, a local Sheriff had me follow him back over his route as he had seen a large white dog. Workers on the street where on the look out for her, people on the bayou and roads.

I phoned the three Animal Shelters, no luck. If she wasn't in the dog pound or seen roaming the streets or bayou then she had to be with someone. With 18000 people living in our local area and well over 2 million people in Houston it seemed like a huge task to find her.

I used my spiritual practices that I have been taught over the years to stay calm and still within, link into spiritual guidance. Even though I had been told she was not there, I had an overwhelming intuition to go to Harris County Animal Shelter all the way across Houston.

So I drove the 1hr 15min to the Harris County Animal Shelter. I really don't like doing the drive across Houston, 6-8 lanes, thousands of cars and trucks, often bigger then my car. The animal shelter had just closed. The security guard was so kind after telling him how far I had driven, and quietly moved the cones so I could "just drive in to turn around". I managed to get in the door as someone left. I was yelled at that they were closed and told to leave; yet a very kind lady quickly showed me all the cages, ignoring the yelling staff member. Kahu was not there. Yet this drive was to be the very thing that was to bring about what seems like a wee miracle.

On returning, I hear the words "the power of the web" which has a number of different meanings. The Internet,and also the "field" "matrix" "web of oneness that we all live within". I searched the acim  and found community forums that I never knew existed. I posted on these about Kahu being lost. The next morning at 6.20am the doorbell rang. A man stood there with Kahu. He had seen the posting on the community site when he woke and brought her back. His wife had seen Kahu walking the street the day before and taken her in. She had taken her to the vet but they had not been able to read the French microchip.

While looking for Kahu, having left the Harris County Animal Shelter I had stopped at a petrol station (absolutely no idea where). There was an older looking woman in a wheel chair sitting outside holding a cup begging for money. She was a small woman. I had thought she was homeless. I gave her some money, and then she asked if I knew how to get hold of a hospital bed. "No idea sorry". But I stopped and talked with her. She needed the bed because her 80-year-old mother had been in hospital for 6 weeks having had various operations. The hospital would not let her mother leave the hospital unless she had a hospital bed at home for her. Her sister had been visiting the mother but was working, not well and now exhausted. This woman could not drive so was unable to get there and help them. She wanted her mother home. I gently asked if she wanted her mother home to look after as she was passing. "No!" she said, so adamantly. She wanted her mother home to nurse her back to health. She was so determined, adamant and authentic in her reaction. Yet she didn't seem so well herself and I wondered how she could manage that.

During the search on community forums looking for Kahu, I had found a listing for "HOSPITAL BED" Amazed at the synchronicity I searched back over this community forum and the others I had found to see if there was any other listings for hospital beds, none just this one only. Clearly not a normal posting. Judging by the response someone had already taken it. But I sent a message anyway asking if it was still available (this was Tuesday). Friday afternoon I received a reply saying it was available if I wanted it and also she could give me a commode, walker, shower bench, and safety brace. All near new.

It felt like a miracle was about to happen for this woman in a wheel chair and I felt such joy for her. I love a good miracle - they are so powerful. I have received a few since beginning my spiritual journey in 1992 so I was delighted to think that one was going to happen for her.

For all this, I was very conscious that this might not be the right thing to do for this woman. She obviously was struggling herself, in a wheel chair and also needing to beg for money. It was not for me to decide what is right for another person. So I tuned into my spiritual guidance, used the beautiful oracle cards that I use everyday. The card was "destiny". That was a big yes!
