Her leash got away from me, allowing this to happen. Was it purely my own inattention and lack of rigorous leash control of a puppy not fully in control of her impulses and discipline yet, and the traffic dangers around here, or was it perhaps destiny and beyond my control?” What can we tell him?ClosedNicola asked 10 months ago • Karma167 views0 answers0 votesHe asks: “I know that very often very faithful people do not have their prayers answered and may die under any number of circumstances. Was it presumptuous to assume that our guides, guardians, and Creator would be able to use divine grace borrowed from all our prayers to stop this? That is, to stop me from dropping the leash, my puppy from running into the road, slow time down and allow me to dive to block her or grab her, or have the vehicle miraculously miss her or something similar, such as by turning back time and having us do something else?” What can we tell him?ClosedNicola asked 10 months ago • Karma153 views0 answers0 votesHe asks: “I tend to think that since this happened on my watch I must take responsibility. I had a similar experience with my childhood dog when I was about 10 years old. I loved them both so much and was so looking forward to seeing them grow and live long and healthy lives. Was there any connection?” What can we tell him?ClosedNicola asked 10 months ago • Karma124 views0 answers0 votesHe asks: “After the collision did happen, was it unbelief that prevented a miracle of total restoration when it looked like she was okay after the huge impact and found on the other side of the road standing up and looking normal? We’ve seen many miracles and this would have been a great one. There was no blood initially and seemingly no broken bones, torn cartilage or ligaments, maybe even no concussion. Was all that by divine grace so that she did not feel pain?” What can we tell him?ClosedNicola asked 10 months ago • Karma125 views0 answers0 votes
