A Beautiful Day!

Today was the perfect day to be outside. Working in the yard, I began to get ready for the rain forecasted for next week; and, also, prepare for the long hard winter that we are supposed to have. Not even a hint of wind was felt, and the calmness that filled the air was refreshing and restful!! Hopefully, tomorrow is more of the same.

The kittens all found a new home today, except SuperFuzz and Little Black. Kat and Chris are keeping them.










The litter worked hard at becoming a little demolition gang for me the last couple of days. To begin with, we tried to keep them in the front entry, but soon realized that didn't work. They merely climbed out!! No boundaries for them!



There was, also, no plant safe from them!! I didn't mind them attacking the baby spiders hanging off the spider plant--but then they moved onto the fern!! Voice commands didn't work, however, a quick spray from the water bottle did.



From the outside, Sam watched the kittens bouncing all over the room and was anxious to play with them! Unfortunately, she is far too strong and plays too rough for a kitten. Poor Sam! She looks so sad, standing there wagging her tail with her head down. But then, in a moment, she will pounce on the window, hoping to catch a little one!

For now, the furniture is covered with bed spreads, the spray bottle is in place to protect the plants and the vaccuum stands ready to pick up all the tissues the mighty little hunters have strewn all over the floor. I really don't know where they found the tissue!! So, for now, the house is safe and they will stay inside.

They are cute as can be. Little SuperFuzz is fearless. Its amazing how a kitten, barely six inches big, is able to think she can take on the world! Little Black is a bit more reserved, but doesn't shy away from adventure, either. They are definitely going to be a handful!


Now to share some Montana pictures. While coming home the other day, I saw the most beautiful sunset. It looked as though heaven was truly just on the other side and the glory of God was shining through!!


Over-all, the weather in Montana has been beautiful. This picture was taken a couple of weeks ago, of rain coming in. It felt more like spring, than fall! I love it!!

We never know what the Lord has planned for us. Whatever comes and whatever happens, it brings with it that promise that He is returning soon!!! Bitter-sweet sometimes for the moment, but always there is a promise of a glorious day ahead for His children!

The Broken

Jeremiah 18:4 And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter; so he made it again into another vessel, as it seemed good to the potter to make.

What great a great love our Creator has for us. He does not leave us broken or hurt, but gives us a new life. We are strengthened and given a new path and our lives will be a delight to those around us, and a light to others.

Psalm 145 (in part)
13 Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,
And Your dominion endures throughout all generations.
14 The LORD upholds all who fall,
And raises up all who are bowed down.
15 The eyes of all look expectantly to You,
And You give them their food in due season.

Our God is with us always, whatever befalls us, we need only keep our eyes on Him and trust that He will get us through whatever comes. He is mighty, powerful and above all things; and, He loves us.

Psalm 46 (in part)
To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. A Song for Alamoth.
1 God is our refuge and strength,
A very present help in trouble.
2 Therefore we will not fear,
Even though the earth be removed,
And though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
3 Though its waters roar and be troubled,
Though the mountains shake with its swelling.

The Lord is with us. Stay in prayer. A prayer is a talk with God...keep Him in your heart, He is with you always.

All Things New


The song "New Again" by Brad Paisley and Sara Evans is beautiful. It can be found on I-Tunes. It is also on YouTube @ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7wEa8YTGhM My computer will not allow on-line videos, so I have not seen this video, but the comments show it is superb!

Can you imagine--You, me and all God's children--renewed?! We will be pure and refreshed! No hurts, no pain! Peace will reign and we will all live in the love of Christ. The sentence of death was taken by our Savior, Jesus Christ, who suffered and died so that this promise can be ours. What an awesome God! What glory awaits us!
