Yes, you read the title of this entry correctly...  God Even Cares About HAMSTERS! 

  For the past two and a half weeks we have been hamster-sitting for our good friends while they have been on vacation. 

The hamster is named Sunshine, but for some reason we could not seem to remember to call her that...  We all called her "Hammie"!  Who knows why. 

Now,l first of all, the owners warned me that Sunshine is a really old hamster and they knew it was possible she would die before they got home.  That idea really upset me.  The last thing I wanted was to have "Hammie" die on my watch!  I would feel TERRIBLE!

Welllllll, the family arrived home last night, but had not had the chance to pick the hamster up yet and would you believe it...  Hammie started to show signs of being VERY sick!  She was panting and staggering around.  She could not make it up the tube to her bed and slept on the floor of the cage huddled in the corner. 

I checked on her all night long and all morning long today.  When Diana called me (the owner) I told her what was going on and that I was really afraid the hamster was dying. 

Then...  I decided to pray for her.  I felt kind of silly, but I laid hands on that little ball of fur and prayed for her to perk up and feel better.  While I was praying for her I noticed that it looked like her nose was clogged up.  May have been my imagination, but I prayed that if that was the problem she would be healed of her little hamster cold or whatever it was.

No joke, when I checked on her an hour later she was climbing around the cage...  eating the apples I put in the cage and acting MUCH better! 

I really don't think it was coincidence...  she seemed COMPLETELY different in that short span of time! 

I don't know...  I realize this sounds crazy, but I remember praying for an almost dead kitten when I was a child and the kitten recovered!  I believe God cares...  even about HAMSTERS!
