Blessed are the little cats

Granma Barbara says:
 Cats and dogs, elephants and zebras.....
all of the mammals and animals here on earth have babies
we love them so because they are cute and offer us a chance to show our love
we take in strays and if they are pregnant do everything we can to insure the babies survive and mama is okay


yet the mama cat  dog or elephant does not have an option to abort
to get rid of her baby or say it is unwanted or inconvenient
in fact she will fight to the death for her unborn baby's survival
and, later when that babe is born, will continue to do the same

wonder if those same mamas would try to kill their unborn offspring?
wonder if their preganancies are "INCONVENIENT"?



Looking back means you have decided to not go forward
For one second you decide to turn back to a time when something was not right or a decision was made that was not good
and you become a pillar of salt
Looking back means you are not enjoying what God has given you now to enjoy
and may cause you to miss the moments ahead which He plans for your pleasure
Looking back makes your neck strain but looking forward gives you clear sight and a relaxed frame
Children look only at now and enjoy the sunshine
Adults check the weather to see what is coming and let this beautiful day waste

I like to think I will not look back but my body and mind know differently
Me?I became a pillar of salt long ago
So gathering up what is left is not easy but God knows and has my life in His hands
He shapes and molds and gets me shaking again just like salt in a shaker
He grinds the salt if He has to and it may hurt but
in the end it is all for good

Looking ahead is His prescription for looking back
and may I only look back to remember His goodness and what He has taught me
in Jesus name amen

The sons of Aaron were killed dead by God for using illegal fire.
After this God forbids wine and fermented drink to be used in the temple ...
Were Aaron's sons drunk? Is this what caused the rule?
Pretty hard punishment for these two fellows indeed!!!!
But God had to get His message out how important this service to Him is.

I wonder often about how shoddy service affects our walk with God? Course we are not struck dead but many times when we suffer or have these unusual trials I think about how my walk with Him is going?
"SEEK FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS
AND ALL ALLL ALL YES ALL THESE THINGS SHALL BE ADDED UNTO YOU"Matthew6:33

Good things overflowing in His love

                          SATAN CANNOT MAKE GNATS


  Most interesting event to me in the book of Exodus is when God had Moses call for the plague of gnats and this one particular time, the magic sorcerers could not conjure up gnats.
 These magicians who served Pharaoh were able to compete with Moses in turning rods into snakes, conjuring up frogs and even getting water to turn to blood.
 HOWEVER when it came to a simple gnat, those pesty little bugs who can nip and annoy even a most patient picknicker,
these magicians could not conjure.
 HAH! I would think this would be a piece of cake for them after the many signs they just performed.
 But leave it to our wonderful God to stump them with a gnat.
 So guess my point is that even when you may think the enemy can get in there and case many troubles always remember:
He could not hurt a fly, no wait, he could not even get one gnat to move and appear.
 Which reminds me, we can step on his puny head being the gnat that he is.    EXODUS 8:16-19

There is a way that God has shown me over time that He is not stagnant and never does what I imagine He will.
This does not mean He is not faithful but that He is God and is far greater and very different than a human being.
 Were it me, if I had to answer my requests, I would be a bit different because there is always on my mind my own interests.
God has not only me but millions and billions of others to care for and love so my requests are only a small piece of His plan.
 Yet when answers do not come I feel bad and abandoned.
I feel like He does not care or He is not wanting my prayers answered at all.
Then if I have others around me who are feeling the same it is like I am the president of woe is me club.
God loves me
I have to get that

TRUMP HILARY BERNIE

 Considering all that is going on in our land and the world, my prayer for my children and grandchildren is that they STAND FIRM IN THE DAY OF TRIAL.
 No matter who will become the ruler of this country,UNLESS HE IS TRULY FOR GOD AND HIS YES IS YES AND HIS NO,NO how could he be a good ruler?
Unless God builds the foundation and is the foundation, the laborers labor in vain!!!
 My country was founded on the prayer of George Washington,that IF this country turns from God, then there is no hope for it.
 How can we allow political parties, ideals and morals to be decided by man when God is the one who should be consulted?
How can  say I will vote for so and so, when,in my heart of hearts,I know he is not standing on God's word?
 So what is to be done? There must be a vote cast and I know truly no matter who wins, they are not for God, none of them!!!
If they were, they would say it and love Him and put Him FIRST in all.
 Is it possible to have a leader like this? I  know King David made mistakes but he ALWAYS went back to God and repented and put God first in his life.
He loved GOD!!!
 Rabbi Jonathan Cahn went before Congress and President Obama saying if we do not repent and turn to God, there is no hope for America.
You might say that we should vote for who seems the best or that God and country should be seperated.Or you might say that our vote will at least stop the worst evil from happening. Friends,that has already happened the moment we turned from God!!!!
My parents taught me to love God and my country,in that order.
It is hard to love a country that does not serve God!! Yet I know I was born here for His purpose so I must serve Him faithfully and complete the task He has for me here.
 Let my yes be yes and my no be no,God!!!
 I am not going to cast a vote for someone who is not for God.That is my decision.So I guess my vote will be wasted to the world but hopefully honoring to God.No matter what anyone thinks this is how I feel.
And may God bless America.
Two days after I wrote this, I talked with Noel and thought some, and maybe I will write in Ben Carson.
