I believe if remember praying for your cat.

I have a three legged cat - family calls him Tripod sometimes, lol. He came home dragging one of his back legs one day in a LOT of pain and was taken to the vet immediately. It was broken all the way up to the hip, and the ankle was totally unattached to the leg. Anyway, long story short, it was amputated and he is doing extremely well! He's an outdoor cat (though he does like to come in too, lol) and still climbs trees, catches mice and birds and bosses the poor dogs around.

Hope your kitty makes a full recovery, too!!

Thankyou

Oooohhh wow. Poor kitty cat, i do wonder what they get up to these days, i really dont know. But with all these cat hating people, anything could happen, who knows, it makes me wonder if cat hating people purposely hit cats crossing the road. I've heard some really bad stories of what people have done to cats lately, horrible. Our cat was unlucky to be in the state he was during the Easter period. But im glad your cat got to see the vet straight away, thats always good!

Ha! He sounds like a funny cat, they work wonders, tough little cookies.

Thanks again, i hope he does too. He seems have been in a bit of pain the last couple of days-----hope he gets better sooner than later..

This old painting I did for a children's book I'm dedicating to your poor, poor kitty with the broken leg!

Wow! You sure have talent! Thats a awesome painting! And thank you

Hes slowly by slowly recovering, baby steps.

Good morning peeps

What a glorious morning!


We have a Mallard with 15 new ducklings, a turkey who thinks she's setting 25 eggs, 3 eggs due to pip in a week, found a family of newborn coons yesterday (DH not as thrilled about that as I am lol), watched a pair of doves building their nest, and woke up this morning to a Robin singing.... (I'm legally deaf. I haven't heard a Robin in probably 10 years)... And then subsequently got to see why he was singing so loud; he had a lady Robin he was courting


Love spring


It's DH and my anniversary this week, so its due time for me to appreciate the bond that I've been given with this God given man I share my life and little joys with.

Decided to do a great devotion plan that we had done before and I've been promising a couple of people I would share. It's 2 weeks long, so I'll just post the devotion every morning, and you guys can work it with me.


And for those if you not married yet, study it anyway. It will come in handy, no matter whether it's aimed at a marriage or a friendship. Enjoy it either way


Day 1

“Let your heart have an unshakeable hope for your marriage”

Without a doubt, the dream of a happy marriage is one of the most consistent longings of the human heart. Forget the bleak statistics we’ve seen, forget the bad rap that committed, lifelong marriage gets in the media – we want to marry our best friend, then enjoy our spouse and enjoy being married. And many people do! So what makes the difference?

The bible has so many vital words of life, so many practical answers for building a rich, abundant, lifelong marriage. And it is awe-inspiring to see that social research findings “reveal” what the Bible has said all along.

In all my research with thousands of men and women, there is one bottom-line common denominator among marriages that survive versus those that fail: hope. The feeling that we can and will make it. This is the courage of those who hope not in themselves, but in the Lord. And for a great marriage, it is this we must never give up.

When trouble and pain press in on every side, many couples become depressed and deceived by the feeling that there is no hope. They are tricked by the frequently quoted but incorrect idea that half of all marriages end in divorce. They worry, “If half of all other marriages can’t make it, what makes us so special?” and they give up as their courage slips away – due to a lie that is tailor-made to steal our hope.

Don’t let it. That myth has been debunked. The vast majority of marriages last a lifetime. This miraculous institution that God has created to mirror the relationship between us and Jesus, still works. He is still working. You can trust in Him, even when you cannot trust yourself or your spouse.

But you must live in that hope. Even if you are the only one clinging to that hope – CLING.

You also must walk in the faith of things not yet seen, doing what you are called to do, as if the answer is guaranteed. We all know that in this fallen world there ARE no guarantees. But the power of our hope in Him is so transformative, so life-giving that if even one partner is fighting for the marriage, if even one person won’t give up, if even one person does what they can do regardless of whether their spouse does the same… it is not only possible for that marriage to survive and thrive, it is likely.

Not to mention what the marriage can do and be once it is back on solid footing! After all, God’s perfect design for marriage is one of supernatural closeness and joy. So whether you have a wonderful marriage already, or are hoping for one someday, step out in courage to do what the Bible asks each day -- and have hope for that abundant outcome.

Dear Lord, give me the courage and hope I need, for the rich and beautiful marriage you want for me. Show me where I have been believing the lies of discouragement, and open my eyes to the truth. In the weeks to come, help me to see exactly how to apply these biblical principles to my own marriage and do what I can do -- and to watch as you do the great things that only you can do. Amen.



Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all you who wait for the Lord !
Psalms 31:24 ESV
http://bible.com/59/psa.31.24.ESV


Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a desire fulfilled is a tree of life.
Proverbs 13:12 ESV
http://bible.com/59/pro.13.12.ESV


Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. For by it the people of old received their commendation. By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible. By faith Abel offered to God a more acceptable sacrifice than Cain, through which he was commended as righteous, God commending him by accepting his gifts. And through his faith, though he died, he still speaks. By faith Enoch was taken up so that he should not see death, and he was not found, because God had taken him. Now before he was taken he was commended as having pleased God. And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.

Yeah! I think it might've been the neighbors big GSD, but we don't know for sure. He was!

He is, lol!

You're welcome....my cat also was in tons of pain, he slowly got better. I'll pray for your cat more!

Jake!!! That's great!

You did awesome - seriously, way to stand up!

 

[chicken4prez]

The guys that I was talking to said that helium and hydrogen ( or something like that ) caused the Big Bang. Then me and the other guy I was with asked him where the helium and hydrogen came from but he didn't have an answer.

That's so dumb. It gets me so mad of how many people are missing out on the wonderful gospel. Good job for standing up for them, Jake.
