Pray for a miracle

We had a nice weekend, and yet, I can't believe how it ended and how the new week begin. Our beloved sweet dog Cinder, started having what looked liked cramps on Saturday, she cried and cried for long periods of time....then she was better again......so we decided to call a vet and take her in to check her out.
While in the waiting room, she had one of her attacks, the doctor came in and started examining her, and decided to X-Ray her neck.....well, it doesn't look good at all....she needs an operation for calcium deposit in one of the discs in her neck.
The problem we are facing - Watch Cinder live in pain for the rest of her life, pay for a $2.000 surgery or put her to sleep. The first two options are next to impossible, we can't stand when she cries in so much pain, and this kind of money would mean it goes into our credit card debt, with no promises the surgery would work.....
The doctor said in some cases, pain killers and anti-inflammatory will fix it, but he wasn't very positive about her case at all. So, I am asking for a miracle, if the Lord would allow us to have her a little longer time He can fix her.
We are very sad at our house, she has been with us since Anna was five years old. She is a most loving dog, such a loyal little friend. The doctor wants to try the medications for about 8 days and see how she responds to it. We covet your prayers for next 8 days.
Thank you for agreeing in prayer with us.
Love and prayers,
Katia

Charoset Recipe

What is Charoset?

There are many recipes for Charoset, but the most popular consists of chopped or shredded apples, walnuts and cinnamon, moistened with wine and formed into a paste. Choroset is symbolic of the mortar the children of Israel were compelled to make when they worked for their Egyptian taskmasters. This brown looking food is actually quite delicious....yummy!!!!! At one point during the Seder (means order) we are supposed to test the bitterness of the horseradish and right after or together experience this very sweet tasty dark/brown mixture. It surely paints a perfect picture of our lives in Egypt (life without Messiah,) and the sweetness of our lives with Him. Somehow when we can experience such textures, smells and flavors, our minds are able to communicate to our spiritual hearts some deeper things that otherwise would be very hard to understand just by an idea. If you have never been part of a Passover Seder you don't know what you are missing, it's like eating a full 5 course dinner...... it's the menu of God, so perfect and so delicious.

Charoset

6 Red Delicious apples, shredded
6 oz walnuts, finely chopped
1 Tbsp. honey
3 Tbsp. Brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon (or more)
1/3 - 1/2 cup grape juice or kosher red wine (sweet)

Mix first five ingredients together with half of the juice or wine. Refrigerate until ready to serve, then add the rest of the juice or wine when ready to serve.

One tablespoon per person is the usual amount necessary for a Seder; however, I always make a large amount of it for desert afterwards and rest of the week. It keeps for days in the refrigerator.
