PRAYER,PERSISTANCE, SURRENDER

Char-Lee resting after a busy day.

Many times, in my life I have prayed for friends and family during serious health issues.

    I learnt valuable lessons.       In most cases. I came to the place where I KNEW I had to surrender because the Will of God was evident in the lives of His  redeemed Children. 

He knew better that I ever could HIS Divine plan and PURPOSE

   When our much loved small, highly intelligent, companion terrier became ill with a painful and serious illness we knew  we faced big decisions…… possible suffering requiring our permission to euthanize, expensive treatment with high cost. No guarantee of recovery.

    Our beloveds Char-lee developed Severe Gastro Encephalitis which caused internal bleeding.  What began as a simple case of vomiting and diarrhea, rapidly accelerated until our little one was dangerously ill.   

       We spoke with the vet who was prepared to try and save her but wanted our permission for the way forward.   

       We did not want her to suffer.  Neither could we afford expensive vet bills that may not work.

       We came to a compromise.     She was to be given full Veterinary treatment for One Day and one night.   Unless there were signs of some recovery healing we would decide what was in her best interests. 

            I began to pray.   I was honest, Persistent, and asked God for a miraculous sign for the decisions we had to make.

          At the end of this first day, the vet. phoned David.  He was pleased to report the little dog was more animated and even moved forward to greet him when he came to check her. ‘it was like a miracle’

THANK YOU FATHER, for this miraculous sign of HOPE

 For the next day we followed Char-lee’s improvement and even were able to sit and cuddle her and reassure her of our ongoing love and support when we visited the vet hospital yesterday.

      She is continuing to improve and we continue now to pray,   Her future is in His Hands but working with the vet we are working, one day at a time, towards ultimately a return of all our lives back go normal.  

         Costs and her life are Surrendered to HIM.   

Thank You Father for the Hope we now have for complete recovery.

 

                                          Amen

About Faye

I m a wife, mother and grandmother. I have always enjoyed writing even from an early age. My book Beyond the Ashes has been written as a labour of love. All the characters are real to me and their story needed to be told. As a Christian my desire is to write General Fiction stories about real people but Hope and a desire for 'better' will always be part of the journey. I have had several short stories published over the years and moderate success in writing competitions. I realized as I was thinking today (30/01/15) that perhaps I should add here that I have had life experiences of many valley times but also many mountain top experiences. I can understand and be beside anyone who finds their life in tatters because I have 'been' there. Of course as I have got older as well there have been the added sorrows of losing not only older family members but also one by one finding the dearest of friends and the ones of greatest support and care also dying. On the site of rich mountains has been my certainty of the value of marriage and how grateful I am that after loss and sadness I made a happy and long-lasting marriage commitment. The one who was my best friend back then is still my best friend 45 years later. Beyond the Ashes touches upon the POWER of LOVE when folk can forget about their own personal 'feelings' and reach out in LOVE to a desperate and broken person.
