But I think you can trust that God meant for Nessa to be with you. Maybe from the beginning YOU got it wrong when you picked Ella, or maybe Nessa had already gone to her new family and so you never saw her. Maybe Ella was an old soul whose whole job on this earth was to put you and Will in a frame of mind where you would learn about the generosity of strangers, learn about the power of forgiveness and learn to trust that God really does know best. The Lord said when you love the least of his creatures, you also love him and through this, you and Will have proven your love. Oh, what a wonderful gift you've received. From tragedy to a new baby!

Beautifully put.
Aubrey, I know that on your original thread someone suggested that there was a "reason" behind the accident. That was hard for you to hear at the time, but I truly believe that the poster meant no hurt, and had something like the above in mind.
To me, it is a huge COMFORT to believe that there is a "reason" behind everything that happens, good or bad. The Bible says that God works everything for good. Often, we never see the "good" that comes from "bad", and will never know the "reason" that these things are allowed to happen...or at least, we won't until we get to heaven.
HOW BLESSED ARE YOU that you are able to see and experience, NOW, that promise coming true!!! ....out of so much sadness....another little life is being saved. I truly believe that God's loving hand guided the breeder in discovering the situation of neglect, and every other emotion and event, of EVERYONE involved, that has led Nessa to you now.
AND WHAT A BEAUTY SHE IS! You chose a perfect name for her, and I just know that she will bring you years of joy and healing laughter!
God bless you, God bless Nessie, and God bless little Ella.
