Jesus, Mary, and Canned Pumpkin

Auntie Jane and I have been discussing my Meany Girl Bunny's GI dysbiotic symptoms.  I will not bore you all with the details, as I am sure you know how serious watery poop is when it comes to rabbits.  Sure, you start the Critical Care, forcing fluids and keeping the little things warm and quiet. But some of us believe that nothing works so much as prayer to The Creator and Great Physician of bodies and souls. A rabbit, and occasionally a human being as well, has a soul. Life is not just a quantifiable science. Life is the Breath and Movement of The Holy Spirit who is God. He is the reason the heart beats and the lungs breathe. There are many who breathe, walk and talk, and look so alive, but are dead. They have rejected the meaning and purpose of their lives. They have denied their Maker. And there are people and things that seem insignificant, but radiate the Light of Life, they reflect the Living Grace of God. Like little birds and ants and human babies. And bunnies.
I asked Jane to pray for my little fluffy bit of ebil dryer lint and firecracker that God made into a bunny. Here is her prayer, it made me feel joy to read it, and I will keep it forever:

Hail Mary full of grace. Blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners and for those who do not sin, especially Meany and all bunnies, now, in the hour of their need, and at the hour of their death. Queen of Angels, come to Meany's aid. Queen of heaven and earth, come to Meany's aid. Oh, thou to whom the Angel Gabriel brought the glorious and holy glad tidings, intercede for Meany. Spouse of the Holy Spirit, intercede for Meany. Mother, given to us all at the foot of the cross, intercede for Meany. As we meditate on the sacred and imperishable proclamation of eternal salvation given by our Lord Jesus Christ, we ask also of him his unfailing mercy and blessing on Meany and all the livingness of this world. Love is the glory of God and let his favor rest on the loving heart of Brandi now as she nurses Meany and always. Amen

This morning, my diarrhetic little crazy bomb gave me two firm, if a little misshapen, doots. She is pissed off about being cooped up in isolation (carrier) but is doing so much better. She is eating like she should. We all know, at least we SHOULD know, that GI problems in rabbits is a dangerous condition. She will be quarantined and fussed over and her poop and urine output monitored closely this weekend. 
How sweet is our God Jesus to give healing to even the littlest creatures. 
Thank You, and thank you , Jane, for praying for two pounds (soaking wet and furious) of what the world considers nothing of significance. 
Bless you all, and Bless the Bunnies!
