A Little Boy's Answered Prayer

Got a cute story for you all! This is a picture of the note Riley wrote Monday evening. No...I didn't mess up taking this picture...I actually think Riley might be somewhat Dyslexic. He must be following in his dad's footsteps. Dylan said we should just pass the note to a Japanese person because the read from right to left anyways. Hmm...maybe Riley has future in Japan. Okay..to decipher for you...it says.."God can you heal our cat". Here's what happened...our well loved little kitty...Spanky...went missing from our home on Thursday evening. We searched for him all weekend with no success. The boys prayed that he would come back home to us, but mom & dad had pretty much given up hope of seeing this little furball once again. Riley is the "prayer leader" at his school this week and had his entire preschool class praying for Spanky. Well wouldn't you know that Monday evening, in the midst of a storm, here comes our little kitten dragging himself in through the kitty door. His head was quite swollen and he was a bloody mess (sorry...I know it's gross). We wrapped him in towels to dry him off and got him some "kitty soup" (aka wet cat food) which is his all time favorite meal. He tried to eat, but couldn't do it. We put him in the bathroom wrapped in towels and left him for the night. In the morning he was taken to the vet to find out what was wrong with him. Well, the vet called today while I was a work and told me what a miracle this little guy was. You are not going to believe this, but Spankys throat had been cut from ear to ear. The doctor said he could not believe that this cat was still alive...had he been a human or a dog he would have never made it. The vet said he cannot believe that this cat was able to make it back home to us....this was truly a miracle. I am positive that God heard the prayers of our little boys. The good news is that Spanky is recovering quite well. He is still in the kitty hospital and has had surgery today to fix him up, but the doctor said this little miracle kitten is going to be just fine.
