This Sabbath was a reminder to never underestimate Elohim, his love for us, or the power of prayer.❤
All night last night, as we were just sure our beagle was going to pass, we all prayed, cried, and worried. I petted her and told her thank you for being with us and being such a wonderful companion. I reminded her of how, when we first got her, the shelter wouldn't let us have her until they had spayed her, so the first time she and I saw each other, she was coming out from under anesthesia. I lay by her all night as she woke up from the anesthesia, and covered her with a blanket and petted her, and told her it was going ot be ok. She has been my very best pet friend since that day. ❤
Last night, as she lay by my bed, I woke up every 5-10 minutes to check on her and make sure she was still breathing. Finally, around 2 am, she lay down by her water dish and took a couple of licks of water. When she did this, I knew she was better, and I passed out in sleep. I slept very late this morning, as my body was wracked with pain from stress and sorrow. 😔
When I got up, our beagle was in the living room, and the kids told me she had eaten a little chicken and had been drinking her water as usual. When she saw me, she started baying and baying, as if to reassure me she was going to be ok. We all bayed back at her, because she loves to do this.🙂
So many times(every time actually) Elohim has answered our prayers and the prayers of those who pray with us. I don't know why I ever had a little worry. I guess it is part of human nature to worry about what is beyond our control. 😔
We would have accepted Elohim's will, either way, but I thank him today for letting her stay with us a little while longer. ❤
Today, I praise Elohim. All credit for our beagles' recovery testifies to the love of Elohim. He knew it couldn't end this way. He knew if our beagle had passed this way, we would never have been able to look at our other dog(that attacked our beagles over a bone) the same, even though this other dog is a good girl too. It is just when food is involved, dogs can be the animals they really are. He knew it couldn't end like this. Our beagle is old. She will be returning to Elohim sooner rather than later, but it couldn't end this way.❤
We are still praying for our beagle, and if there are others here that would pray with us, it would be greatly appreciated, because now, as she heals, we have to watch for infection and such. Still, her strong will to live and Elohim's blessing are the reasons we praise Elohim today. Let us all love each other the way Elohim loves us...❤
7 [k]Beloved, let us love one another: [l] for love cometh of God, and everyone that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.

Notice I add to all my posts of a religious nature
As part of my learning to socialize, I have come to understand that I have the right and responsibility to set personal boundaries. As such, not all of my posts are open to debate. I don't debate my religious beliefs, and I don't debate my political beliefs. To do so is utterly useless. Neither person in the debate will change their perspective, nor agree to disagree. Such debates are therefore good for nothing, other than to waste the precious moments of one's life. I add my posts here for my own reflection and if the Elohim wills it, to touch other people's hearts. Hopefully, encouraging them to learn, for themselves, about anything I post.
What I post are my personal beliefs, and they mirror no religion known to me. Although they might, at first glance, look to be Christian or Jewish, because I do believe in the Holy Scriptures, in part, I assure you I am neither. Although I greatly respect Christian people and Jewish people, I follow Yeshua's teachings ONLY. I do believe that Yeshua is my King and Savior, and my only guaranteed connection to Elohim. I do believe that he was crucified for the sins of those in the world and that he was resurrected. I don't believe in Paul or any of the books he wrote. I do follow Torah because I don't believe Yeshua ever released his followers from doing so. This was a Pauline teaching, and as such, means nothing to me. I don't press my beliefs on others, and I don't allow others to press their beliefs ( or lack of beliefs) on me. I believe in live and let live. However, in the world of social media, this concept is foreign. For this reason, I will be closing the comments on all my thoughts concerning MY personal beliefs. I struggled with this for a moment because I am trying to leave my posts open this time, but personal boundaries are important.
All this information may be posted on every post I add here,of a religious nature, so as not to have so many people question why I close comments on some of my posts. This was an issue last time I was here.
