Sunday Morning Sunshine: There are Cats, and then There are Cats...

 All cats are demanding.

Grouchy

and sometimes downright sarcastic.

There's no debating on this statement.

I insist that it's true! :) 

Princess

But, when they want to be,

they are loving 

(or at least want to be loved on)

It's their right, they think!

Simon

and beautiful

(who's ever heard of a modest cat?

NO? I thought so!)

Tipper

Some are smart

So smart they THINK

they are the boss

You'll catch them with that certain gleam in 

their eyes

Boet

he's becoming a celebrity because he's a KEY character

in Catch Me If You Can

(Book 1 of the Nursery Rhyme series).

Everyone loves him 

and the attention 

is going to his head.

He thinks I don't know what

he's thinking,

but I do.

because...

 some cats are dumber than coal buckets,

but don't let them know I said this.

Especially BOET!

Sunday Morning Sunshine: God's World

 God's World

O world, I cannot hold thee close enough!

Thy winds, thy wide grey skies!

Thy mists, that roll and rise!

Thy Woods, this lovely day, that ache and sag

And all but cry with color! That gaunt crag

To crush! To lift the lean of that black bluff!

Long have I known a glory in it all,

But never knew I this;

here such a passion is

As stretcheth me apart--Lord, I do fear

Thou'st made the world too beautiful this year;

My soul is all but out of me--let fall

No burning leaf; prithee, let no bird call.

--Edna St. Vincent Millay

Rambing Friday: Sometimes...

Sometimes...when the sky is gray,

When troubles come,

When all seems lost...

I think it's useless to try.

I cry.

Feel lost.

Pressured.

But then...

I'm reminded that...

God has made everything beautiful in its time. 

Ecclesiastes 3:11

Weeds that are beautiful.

Simple Pleasures

Divine Delights.

Extraordinary Moments

God's gifts and reminders to me:

A woodpecker busily drilling holes in a local Maple tree.

He paid no mind to me as he worked though

I stood almost directly beneath him
while he busily did his thing
with no worries to speak of.

I see children in their innocence playing, creating, happy.

Why should I not be so?

Grandson Jonathan, at his YMCA swimming/lazer tag birthday

party, when he came out of the water and handed me his goggles.

"Gwandma, will you hold these for me?"

My heart melted! 

(This pic wasn't taken at the YMCA,

but it shows his love of water!)

The little red fox who ran off the road 

and peeked at us as we drove by:

He'd just lost his mate.
Sad? Maybe.
but life goes on.
God has a plan.
I just have to trust and remember.

His love of trying new things.
Sometimes he's nervous, but always determined to carry it through.
Why should I not do so also,
especially knowing I have a BIG God?

Grandson Wes at his archery shoot.

Love when he shows his gentle side!

If God cares for the lilies of the field, 
how much more does he care for us?

Sunday Mornng Peace

There is a time . . .

for every purpose under heaven . . .

to be born

to die

to plant

to pluck up the planted

to kill

to heal

to break down

to build up

to weep

to laugh

to mourn

to dance

to cast away
to gather

to refrain from hugs

to get

to lose

to keep

to cast away

to love

to hate

a time of war

of peace

He has made everything beautiful in his time.

Blessings!
