If anyone can spare a prayer

    If anyone can spare a prayer

    He's already given me so much.  I feel like I don't even have the right to keep asking Him for things.

    But, Willow's going for another blood test tomorrow.  If her platelets have remained up on this dose of Prednisone they will lower it again.  This has been very hard on her and really hard for me to watch her suffer the side effects of this stuff.  But, I'm trying to be as positive as possible.  So, if anyone (anyone at all even if you don't like me, per se) could say a prayer for little Willow I'd really, reallly appreciate it.

    Thanks.

    I'll say a very special prayer tonight for Willow, and her best friend.

    :Lori --SPARE?  nope -- there's no 'sparing' -- there is exceedingly abundantly beyond all you might ask or want.  Not gonna just 'spare' a prayer I'm gonna pray LOTS and prayer big!!! There is never ***ever*** 'too much' that you've asked.  The Alpha of all Alphas loves to show us His Hand -- He loves to show that even "His eye is on the sparrow" -- and how much more on something WE love. 

    You've done so well -- so yes, ask Him as we all will.  He loves it when we all pray and talk to Him together.  He loves this little corner of this board -- He loves to show HE reads it too.  This isn't asking too much -- this is just plain being faithful.  This is letting Him show how much He truly loves all of us -- and if for a dog, then how much more for one of us. 

    Lori -- time after time after time when Billy was sooooo very very sick -- I asked for prayer both here and on my other little board -- I'd ask friends, I'd ask ... acquaintences ... I'd ask God to touch the hearts of others.

    And you know, even today I get emails from people who were faithful to lift Billy up THEN.  And I get blessed anew that He uses all things -- even dogs ... even .. .yes, the sparrow (the little one in that parking lot we all walked by today??) nothing is beneath His notice.  AND His love. 

    So oh yes, I will lift her up now and in the morning -- not just for 'numbers' but for it to truly show how she is.  To give the vets good discernment to know what they *should* do now and that it will truly be good and wonderful progress.   To give them superior wisdom about how to wean her off the pred the best best way to keep this problem resolved ... not just for tomorrow during the test but day after day after day for the rest of a long and productive life.

    AND for you -- for calmness and peace and a good night's rest.  *hugs* my friend.  I have soooooooooooooooooooooo been there.   And as long as my arms can help hold you up I surely will.  *good hugs*

    I've said it before --your loving care of this dog is awesome.  YOU caught the problem initially before it became fatal.  YOU were vigilant, so I gotta pray for you too, that you have the strength and the wisdom to remain vigilant.

    For the Sweet Willow I would ask the Universe MUCH....  The Tribes had many thoughts , they had reasons for why and for when , they also just understood.....   Willow is in her photos and the stories you share so deeply of the world and spirit time...there is a connection in the grace with which Willow handles each day, loving you and asking nothing in return.

    I offer my hopes and heart, I offer my love and caring in hopes the BEST comes back to Willow and you.  Fingers crossed, no stepping on cracks and no chance of jinxing each other in conversation... Only the Very Best for Willow.

    Sending a gigantic batch of prayers, good thoughts, and positive vibes for GREAT test results and a further reduction in her meds.  I'll PM you again this week, but tonight I'll keep you and Willow in my heart.  Sending both of you a hug, too!

    I'm a little late and hoping that you've already gotten some good news, but I'll say a prayer just to be on the safe side. Big Smile

    Sending prayers up from here too, both for Willow's health and your strength.

    Thank you all so much!  I can't express what it means to know that Willow has all these friends thinking of her.  Her appointment is at 2:30, so I'll have the results either later today or tomorrow.
