Just Amazing!

As a follow-up to the awesome story below, I wanted to share with you, with Bri's permission, what she wrote to be read at our Goodbye service tonight.


Dedicated to my precious cat, Girlie Girl. She fought a good fight and died after being bitten by another cat. This bite became infected and her immune system was too weak to fight it off, because of AIDS. She was too ill to recover from the sedation that was given to her when the bite was drained. God blessed us so much to allow her to come home and live for three days before she died on Sunday night of March 30, 2008. She fought it and with her choice she chose to stay because of her love, but she was tired. We prayed after she threw-up that God would heal her right away or take her right away and not make us have to put her to sleep. She stopped breathing during our prayer and went home. She blessed my life so much. I wrote this for her while she was alive and sick and at the vet for the second day. I wanted her to come home, because I knew God would heal her. As I read through it again I realize that God did heal her and did take her home and I am the one waiting to go home now. God healed her and she is flying now, like in my poem, and I can’t wait to get to fly too. I love her and I miss her, because she is so precious and loved me so much and I loved her. Little and big things she did made her the best cat I have ever known. I love her and I can’t wait to see her again. She begged for food and scratched at the back door, she licked me, peed on the floor, would want to be held, purred loudly all the time, had more patience than most people, liked to be outside and inside, and a million other things that made her so wonderful.

I love her and miss her and can’t wait to see her soon.


Oh Sweet Savior

Oh Sweet savior
Savior to all
Oh Sweet Savior
Oh my sweet savior

Lost and abandoned
Am I not
When I’m by your side
I can finally walk
And in your arms I lie.
My sweet savior
You’re with me even in the night

You will heal the broken
You say that we
Can soar through you
And who can soar
On broken wings
Please heal me

So heal what broken in us
And show us the way
We are to walk
And bring us home today
My sweet savior

In darkness we dwell
But you are a light
In dark places
Through you we can fly
You give us wings
And you heal us
When we’re broken

My sweet savior
Savior to all
My sweet savior
You catch me from my fall
My sweet savior
Through you I can soar

You heal what is broken
You demolish the pain
And you free us
From our chains
Bring us home today
My sweet savior

My sweet savior
Savior to all
My sweet savior
You caught me from my fall
Through you I can fly
You were crucified
To free me

Watch me soar
As I take flight
Because through you
I can fly
You healed me
And you were the light
In dark places

So through you I fly
I can fly
On wings that were broken
I can fly
Through you I can fly
Healed and whole
No longer broken
You brought me home
My sweet savior
Yes, my sweet savior
Oh my sweet savior
