You Never Know What the Day Brings

Having lost my grandson's cat last year in California, I was heartbroken.  How will he survive in a land he is totally unfamiliar with, with no place to call home, or anyone to feed him, and, then, there are all kinds of new predators down there.  Before we left, the children ran around the neighborhood sending out flyers, and we walked in all directions trying to find Little Black and their cat, Lilly.  We notified housing, and put up posters.   Then the time came to leave and we had no choice but to go.   My daughter-in-law stayed in Sacramento and later someone on the base contacted her that they found her cat...so Lilly was found, but no sign of Little Black.

Ads were placed in the local paper.  I, also, put him in a lost and found on-line, but there were no responses from the lost and found, and the paper got one response which was not Little Black.  Then one day, a short time ago, I received a suggestion to try a couple of sites on Facebook.  I did and found that there were a number of sightings of black cats and have been for the last year.   Tomorrow I am heading down to find out if any of them are Little Black.  (Although, he might not be so happy to head home when he learns we have already had snow!)  Hopefully, soon, Little Black will be tucked away in his own home.

God is good.  With His providence, the timing is right, money is available for gas, the car checked out good, and the weather is going to turn nice again.    Who is like the Lord??!!

Getting Up and Moving

So, now that the children are on their own, the days are my own.  My thoughts are going in dozens of different directions.  There are so many projects I had put off - mostly large projects.  Realizing what is ahead, I am temporarily overwhelmed and flustered and I don't feel like starting anything.  

Sitting down, I turn to Rejoice Radio:  http://www.rejoice.org/Streams/RBNPlayerFlash.html  The focus is now on the Lord and my heart is at ease.

After many rainy days, the sun is shining.   As soon as it warms up I will go outside and start filling some gopher holes.   The gophers dig out on the landfill and when winter comes, and the freeze sets in, their holes will allow the sewer line to freeze.   We also have a couple up by the house that need to be filled, and should have been filled before the rain.   Their holes allow water to get down on the foundation.  Then, when the freeze comes, and the dampness, or water, gets into cracks, crevices or bubbles in the cement, it freezes.  Then the thaw comes, the ice expands and it cracks the cement.

Well on with the day.   The first priority is to get all the winterizing done, and then it is time to start on Mom's scrape books, again.

 God is good.

Fall Comes

"He Was So Much More" by Carroll Roberson:

This song is so beautiful. It has a touch of country to it, and I love it.   What an awesome God we have!

Well, health-wise, it turned out I pulled a muscle.  Who would think that would hurt so much!  But, rest and walking carefully, sitting carefully and laying carefully, and it is healing.  Yea!   Can't wait to be "normal", and yep, I know I will be.  If God chooses, that this is a cross to carry, then, so be it, I will keep limping along.

Fall is stepping into the country beautifully, with the night-time cooling down and touches of warmth during the day.   The grasshoppers are clicking and jumping everywhere, and the half-grown kittens are leaping and pouncing all over, trying to catch one.   God is good.  We have a beautiful world!
