Earlier this week when Bananas not only escaped from his pen but was chased to South Dakota by our bunny-lickin' Australian Shepherd, I was certain we had seen the last of him.
Even so, I prayed. So did some of you, bless your ever-lovin' hearts, and both Stephen and I were touched by your kind words in comments (and in twitter).
Yesterday, my daughter and I hit the road South Carolina-bound, marking year 14 in our annual Valentine Mother-Daughter Tea Party (recap next week, and if you have daughters or granddaughters, make a mental note to keep an eye out!). Mid-way to my in-laws, my cell phone rang; caller ID indicated it was my oldest son.
So enthusiastic I could barely understand him, the second time he explained the reason for his call, it became crystal clear: he and Stephen had seen Bananas in our yard, and together they wrangled that wascally wabbit back into his pen :).
…assuring Stephen a VERY happy Valentine's Day…
…assuring me that sometimes God sweetly answers in the affirmative the idiotic prayers of a faithful mother.
Sent via picture text this afternoon 🙂
Just more evidence that God listens to even the smallest of prayers and grants miracles in the smallest of ways. I’m so happy for y’all and your funny bunny 🙂 Happy Valentine’s Day!
Oh, I just love happy endings! What a great Valentine present for your son!
How wonderful! We had a similar experience several years ago with a cat who had been missing for a couple of weeks. We prayed for her to come back, and a few minutes later, my daughter said, “Mommy, Sasha’s under the bush out back!” And she was.
A happy ending indeed! You son looks very happy holding his bunny!
What a wonderful Valentine’s Day reminder of God’s love for little boys and bunnies!
Amen! 😀
OH YAY!! I love happy endings too. Tears of joy over here, my friend!
I’m glad to hear that your bunny is home safe!
What a sweet surprise for your boy, you, and I’m sure for Bananas, who is no doubt happy to be home safe and sound.
Yay God!
perhaps he did just want to get out and paint the town over valentines weekend.
Oh – that is wonderful! I’m happy for your son!
Yay!! Excellent news.
Oh Spectacular! Yay God! 🙂 Truly, what a lovely faith builder for your son. I am so very happy for both of you.
Oh, hurray! Perfect timing!
How funny is this?
Our dog found a nest this afternoon in the yard – and me thinking it was rats, took the shovel and killed all the blind little creatures.
And when I came inside and started “googling” to figure out exactly what it was I killed – found your newborn bunny picture. (I really hope it was NOT bunnies that I took out).
Uh oh…they DO look like baby rats! Or bats! They’re pitiful! I didn’t
write about it (because of the tears in our family by my youngest)…but ALL
of our bunnies are gone. No one took a shovel to ’em, but I think a
Sasquatch lives nearby :(.
