I had a really bad scare yesterday just before I posted this comment in my blog: How do you explain to a good dog why you can't give him a doggie goodie any more?

@Everybody: Help please - Belty is wandering around in circles and staring into space. Please pray, send good thoughts, send hope - whatever is proper in your personal philosophy of life, Belty and I could use them. I am afraid. I have had dogs act like this before they die before. I am not ready to let Belty go. Thank you. X

It turned out none of my friends were on Live at that moment. But, I could still ask God for help personally:

I switched my TV input from PC to my cable TV and put on the Contemporary Christian Music channel and began to pray and God sent me just the right song to help me. The first song was a song that I had never heard before, but it was the exact right song I needed right then.

“Oh, X, you don’t really believe that God cares about little things like that, do you?” I believe in miracles of all sizes.

God sent me just the right song to help me. I listened to that song over and over and over and over on my cable. I prayed and cried and prayed and cried and prayed and cried and hugged my boy.

I must have listened to that song continuously for a half hour.

The song was about not having any control over what has happened or what is going to happen. All we have is “right now”, so, all you can do is appreciate this moment.

Belty was better in a few hours. But that is not the point. Belty, and all living thing, is going to die when God says he is going to die. I can’t change it. But, I can pray for comfort so that I can accept it.

So, about an hour after I posted that prayer request on my blog comments, I posted this comment:

@Everybody: After I wrote the comment below, I turned on a Christian music station on my cable TV. The first song that played was sent by God to me, in my humble opinion. I have been worrying about Belty so much, that I've been missing the "right now". Check out this song:
Grooveshark.com: Miracle of the Moment

I bought this song to put on my iPod. Here is the Amazon.com link if you want to buy it after hearing it, like I did:

Miracle Of The Moment
[MP3 Download], Price: $0.99
From the album This Moment
By: Steven Curtis Chapman

Lyrics:

It's time for letting go
All of our "if onlies"
Cause we don't have a time machine

And even if we did
Would we really want to use it
Would we really want to go change everything

Cause we are who and where and what we are for now
And this is the only moment we can do anything about

So breathe it in and breathe it out
And listen to your heartbeat
There's a wonder in the here and now
It's right there in front of you
And I don't want you to miss the miracle of the moment

There's only One who knows
What's really out there waiting
And all the moments yet to be
And all we need to know
Is He's out there waiting
To Him the future's history

And He has given us a treasure called “right now”

And this is the only moment we can do anything about

So breathe it in and breathe it out
And listen to your heartbeat
There's a wonder in the here and now
It's right there in front of you
And I don't want you to miss the miracle of the moment

And if it brings you tears
Then taste them as they fall
Let them soften your heart

And if it brings you laughter
Then throw your head back
And let it go
Let it go, yeah
You gotta let it go

And listen to your heartbeat

And breathe it in and breathe it out
And listen to your heartbeat
There's a wonder in the here and now
It's right there in front of you
And I don't want you to miss the miracle of the moment

And breathe it in and breathe it out
And listen to your heartbeat
There's a wonder in the here and now (here and now)
It's right there in front of you
And I don't want you to miss the miracle
Of the moment
