She was curled up in a little ball, so weak she could not even stand. She stopped eating, and looked at me with a look I had seen before on Holly when Holly was so sick. Gracie has the same disease Holly had, and she has had some peaks and valley’s the last few months. Sunday I thought we were going to lose her. Skipper and I prayed over our Gracie girl, and put her in her favorite spot with all her favorite toys. When I came home later that afternoon, she was still sleeping.I love my Gracie so much. I have learned more from her than I can even write. If people could love like Gracie, we would never have problems in the world. I headed for the prayer closet just to pray for her. I was wondering if it was time to let her go. I just didn’t feel like it was and just prayed God would give me some grace and wisdom to know what to do.
As I sat there praying, and wiping tears, I felt a nudge. It startled me. It was Gracie. She was so weak she was wobbling, and her little paw was trying reach my hand. Gracie always knows when I am in my prayer closet, and even as sick as she has been……made it, and took her place right by my side. I prayed over our girl, and she snuggled in close. Skipper followed her to see where she was going, and he took this picture when he realized the was heading to the prayer closet. I will treasure it always. God gave me Grace. She ate for the first time in awhile after this picture was taken. She rallied and is doing a little better. I will treasure every second I have with her, however many seconds I have left, and pray she will once again pull through this. I am thankful God gave me Grace on this day. Literally. He answered my prayer. He’s good at that.
