Everybody that knows him loves Elmo. He is a wonderful family dog that we know. We visit Elmo's house when we go to our friend's house for a home group meeting on Wednesday evenings. So, over time, Elmo has stolen our hearts.
Several years ago, Elmo was sick and went to the vet. He had a hard time with eating and was on different medicines and foods to try to get him well. He became very sick. Someone in the home group suggested we pray for Elmo, so we did. Elmo got well and everything was fine after that.
A long time later, maybe a year or two, maybe longer, we went to home group one night. Everyone was gathered in the room except the home group leader and his wife. The announcement was made that Elmo was very sick and they were taking care of him. The news was not good, and it looked like Elmo had a type of cancer that would take his life shortly. He was in a lot of pain when we saw him later on. Again, they were trying medicines, and making decisions on which way to go to get treatment for him. They were not going to take Elmo through chemo or anything radical. We realized that we might not see him again and it was very sad. Again, we prayed for Elmo. And again, Elmo recovered and was fine. We were elated that he recovered. God was good to us for taking care of Elmo, especially when there was no other answer or cure for his sickness.
