No Comments on The Man Who Worshiped Money So Much He Left Everything Else Behind

There was a man so obsessed with making money that he ignored that his family was falling apart. His children had many problems that an excellent, caring Father could have helped them with if he was only there for them. He was humble and did not put on Aires, but his money came before everything or anybody else.

He did not spend quality time with his wife or family. He walked by a man wanting food when he came out of a restaurant with a to-go box full of leftovers. He ignored the needs of his church family and what God wanted him to do with his life. He never traveled, and he never took time to relax. He hardly ever talked to people unless it was his financial adviser.

Time kept marching on, and he still made no changes. His children now had their children. He did not spend time with his Grandchildren. He was obsessed that he might not have enough money for a rest home in his old age. He worked and toiled away endlessly. One day his body gave out, and he finally turned to God for help. He began to see the errors of his ways. He realized he had ignored the cries of the needy, his family, friends, church family, and God.

He began to see what he had been missing out on in life. He was missing out on being loved and adored by his family. He had missed out on the beauty of nature and what God was calling upon him to do with his life that would help others.

The man who had worshiped money now worshiped God and family and friends. He now gave freely to the cries of the needy. He found out it is better to give than to receive. Money did not buy him happiness. It almost robbed him of everything essential in life.

It takes a disaster or a near-death experience to wake some people up to what is truly important in life. Life is meaningless without love from family, friends, and God. Money does not buy happiness or friends. Money can be the root of all evil if you worship it before you worship God. Do not let money consume or devour your life. Give freely to worthwhile charities and help as many people as possible while on earth. God bless a joyful giver.

No Comments on Cats Are Very Compassionate

Cats know when you are not feeling well. My cats will lay by my side and gently purr away. I have three house cats, who take turns watching over me when I am under the weather. When one cat leaves for a while, another quickly fills the empty spot.

Cats have compassion for one another. If one cat is not feeling up to Parr, another cat will lie down as close as possible to his sick friend. Female cats will help care for each other’s kittens. I observed one female cat catching a mouse to feed another female cat’s kittens.

Cats have been known to nurse baby puppies, opossums, ferrets, and other small animals. One cat had adopted three baby squirrels that she raised and her four kittens. Cats have been burned badly in a fire trying to save all of their kittens. Unfortunately, many cats have awakened their owners to let them know there is a fire in their house, only to succumb to the fire themselves. Cats have alerted their owners to gas leaks and much more.

Cats will lie next to people dying in a rest home. It is the cat’s way of comforting them in their final moments. When my Mother died, my Siamese cat Sugar would sit on the bathtub’s edge and cry out or wail for one straight week. She remembered my Mother would buy cat food for her and other goodies and take her to her vet visits when she was sick.

I had one cat raised in a vet’s office, and rodents were not to be killed as they were someone’s pets. My other cat saw a mouse and intended to have brunch. My cat, raised in the vet’s office, embraced the mouse by encircling it with his feet. My other cat was in shock, thinking, Isn’t we supposed to kill those?

Cats care for their owners very much, and we care for our feline friends very much. Cats show compassion for each other and other animals. Cats comfort those in need of comfort and show great empathy.

Worry

Worrying about things robs you of a day or more of your life. Worrying over anything will not change the results of the outcome. Do not sweat the small stuff in life, as it is not worth your time or effort.

The worry wart worried all day long, and he never made a difference in his life or the lives of others while he feared away his valuable time on earth. God knows our worries and troubles and will take care of them in good time. Trust in the Lord, for his love for you is constant and never ceasing.

Always put your best foot forward, and you will always be one of God’s good stewards. Do not worry, for God will heal or help you along lives HWY. Remember not to worry, for things will work out.

Do not give in to anxiety or allow your mind to dwell on difficulty or troubles. Talk to people and realize others have gone through what you have gone through or worse. When you have doubts about the outcome of a situation, try to avoid that situation. If you cannot prevent a problem, ask others for help and pray to God for the help you need.

Do not stay in a state of uncertainty over actual or potential problems. A potential problem is a problem that has not occurred or may never occur. Do not cry over milk that has been spilled, as it can constantly be replenished. Do not make a mountain out of an ant hill. Keep busy with friends, travel, hobbies, reading, and enjoying nature, and live every day to its full potential with no worries. God knows everything you think about every minute of your life and will carry your concerns away. God will lead the way for a better and new tomorrow for you and yours. Go out and live your life as God wants you to. Remember, God is always by your side or holding your hand.

How To Keep Your Cat Lean

No Comments on How To Keep Your Cat Lean

Keeping a lean cat can be difficult. Ensure you have plenty of toys for your cat to play with and run after. My cats love running up and down my stairs, which is excellent exercise. Interact with your cat by throwing a toy mouse or ball they can run after.

Many cats love to indulge in food at night, which tacks on the pounds quickly. If your cat is nighttime gluten, take his food away at night. Never give your cats more snacks than what is recommended on the package. Please do not feed your cat wet cat food during the day and then let him eat all the dry food he wants at night. Give your cat a well-balanced meal daily, as consistency is essential in maintaining weight.

Cats sleep more than half of their life away, so they do not get a lot of exercise in one day. I have some snack balls in which I put my cat snacks, and my cats have to bat the ball around to get their snacks. I have a fish on a string cat toy that my cats leap up in the air trying to get the catnip fish on the end of the string.

If your cat is morbidly obese, feed them particular weight-control cat food. There are many different brands of weight-control cat food to choose from. Your local vet can recommend how to resolve your feline friend’s weight problem.

I am considering buying an exercise cat wheel for my cats to run around on, as it is like a treadmill for humans. They look like they are pretty easy to assemble. You tube videos of people and cats using the exercise wheel seem very impressive.

No Comments on The Calming Effect Of Cats

Cats are there for you when you come home from a hard work day. Your cat sits on your lap, purrs gently, and licks your hand. Your cat is relaxed, and you feel more flexible with your cat’s presence.

Cats love to play with toy mice and balls and catnip toys. Watching your cat play with his favorite toys is fun and calming. Cats are full of adventure, and their various antics make our faces smile. Cats can sleep in the oddest positions. Garfunkel was sleeping on my refrigerator with his paws over his eyes to keep out the morning light. Conrad loves to sleep in a recliner with his long feet and paws hanging over the side. Kohl sleeps in a heated cat bed and snores away. Garfunkel also sleeps in a thermal bed, and Conrad likes a Meowfia cave bed that women in Africa make.

Calming Effects Of Cats

Being around cats lowers your blood pressure and relieves stress and anxiety from your day. Cats show you unconditional love and companionship. Cats seem to know when you are sick and lay beside you and comfort you to the best of their ability.

Cats Are very Loving Animals.

Cats are very caring creatures. Cats will look at you lovingly and with soulful eyes. Your cat will never judge you or complain about unnecessary things. Cats are compassionate about helping out other pets also. My cats were best friends with a pet goat that I once had. My cats and the goat would sleep together in a large dog house. I once had a small dog that would share her home with one of my cats and all her kittens, and they would even go hunting together. My small dog would babysit my cat’s kittens if she wanted to leave for a little while.

You Have Better Health With A Pet In Your Life

It has been proven that people that have pets have fewer health problems and live longer because of the calming effects that pets have in our lives. A hectic day became wonderful once I came home to my beloved cat.

Living Your Life As God Intended

No Comments on Living Your Life As God Intended

Living your life as God intended is what life is all about on Earth. Live your life in a gracious, faithful, caring, loving, joyful, hopeful, peaceful, kind, and giving manner every day that you are on Earth. Do your best to pass along God’s message to others entering your life. Be kind to others and thank them when they are kind to you.

God wants us to help each other as we journey through life on Earth. Check on your loved ones often and help those who need a little extra boost. If someone makes a mistake, forgive them and move forward in your relationship. God forgives us for our sins, so we should not do any less for others. Holding a grudge destroys you and not the other person, as they will not even give it another thought.

God wants us to protect and help others that we meet in our lives. Visit and talk with others as often as you can. Being around others is good for your mental health, as those who socialize tend to live longer. Join a group of people with the same interest as you, and all of you will reap the benefits.

God wants us to learn something new daily, so we don’t stagnate. Travel and enjoy unique sights and sounds and discover no matter where you go; we all want the same things out of life in general principles. We want to be happy and safe, and secure in our life. We want someone to care about us. We cherish our time with our families.

W want to be children of God and live in his flock. We need to let others know what God has done for us. God is a beautiful guide and role model for all of us to live a life that serves God and helps others on their path with their trials and tribulations. Lift those who are down and heavily trodden-ed. Live life with a purpose that exemplifies God’s values and teachings.

Where I Buy My Cats Accessories

No Comments on Where I Buy My Cats Accessories

I order my cat accessories online or buy them at local stores. I do a lot of comparison shopping as I want the best quality items for a reasonable price. Compare the online prices to your local store prices. If you can shop locally, remember those dollars go back into your community. Online shopping is lovely when they offer free shipping. It is nice to have cat food and cat litter delivered right to your door in the cold winter months.

I buy my cat’s toys from e bay, amazon, grocery stores, and chewy.com. My cat litter is from Menards, Mills Fleet Farm, and Chewy.Com. My cat food comes mainly from chewy.com and Menards. I prefer K and H heated cat beds as they tend to last a long time. My heated cat beds come from e bay and amazon.com. My cats love their Meowfia cat beds from Chewy.Com. I purchased my cat’s playpen from Amazon.Com.

I just purchased an excellent plastic folding step made by Frisco and sold by Chewy.com for my cat Kohl. Kohl has trouble jumping into my bed as he ages, and his new actions make life much easier. Kohl also likes orthopedic cat beds that I have purchased from Aldi’s grocery store.

I have purchased flea treatment products from my veterinarian. You can buy distemper shots for your cats at Mills Fleet farm. I take my cats to my veterinarian for all of their images. Do research on flea treatment products before you buy them to ensure they are effective and safe for your cat, depending on size, age, and overall general health.

I purchased my metal heated water bowls from Menards as they last a long time compared to plastic heated water bowls. My grooming tools were purchased at my local stores. I have purchased many litter boxes over the years. I like a litter box that sifts the litter clean, as you do not waste as much cat litter.

I love the Litter Robot. It is more costly than other brands, but my cats and I love it. It smells nice and fresh, and the dirty litter is dumped in a plastic bag in the tray below the unit. The Litter Robot even has a night light in it for your cat. The Litter Robot is automatic. All you have to do is put fresh clumping litter in, remove the dirty trash, and put a new bag in, and you are all set.

Your cat will be happy with his new accessories, and his nine lives will be blessed by you caring for and loving him every day unconditionally. God Bless you and your feline friends.

Difficult Cats

Ridicule

No one wants to be ridiculed. Taking a joke too far is a form of ridicule. Some things are not a joking matter, no matter how you may see them. If the party is not taking the joke how you intended it to be taken, then stop immediately. Carrying a mark too far hurts everyone involved in the end. Friends may be lost, and business deals could be broken.

Teasing someone endlessly gets old and annoying to the person on the receiving end. Teasing can get out of hand very quickly and is a behavior that a bully might present. Teasing can be a way of putting someone down in their eyes. What you might think is very innocent is not innocent to the person at the receiving end.

Laughing at someone is also a form of ridicule. Would you like to be laughed at? I am sure your answer is no. To laugh with someone is lovely, but to laugh at them is a big problem in my and God’s eyes. Laughter is the best medicine when done correctly and with good intentions.

Mocking someone’s behavior is never good unless you’re a famous comedian, and should be done tactfully. Always remember you could always be on the receiving end of ridicule. Mocking someone’s actions is mean and nasty if you have to put someone down to feel good about yourself, you have a significant problem.

Contempt is a feeling of disrespect. When you feel contempt toward another human being, you may think of them as something, not a person, or they are worthless. No person is weak in this World. God made every one of us; no one is better or worse than the next guy. We are each one of God’s lambs in his flock.

Make sure you treat people with the utmost respect and never ridicule them, for we are all created alike by the hand of God. Spread God’s good works today and always without ceasing.

What My Cats Do Everyday

My cats have their daily routines down to a science. My house cats sleep on my bed at night, in one of their cat beds, or on a large fluffy mat that the sun shines on in the daytime. My cats stop at the litter box, food, and water bowl to start their morning. They take turns looking out the picture window at the birds eating out of their bird feeders.

Kohl starts his morning rummaging through his toy box for the perfect cat toys to play with for the day. Garfunkel is on my bed now, watching my blog away. Conrad is in his recliner, taking his first catnap at 10:00 AM. Garfunkel will go back to watching birds when I am finished with this blog post.

Conrad will toss his green snail up in the air, and Kohl will play with any toy frog he can find, along with toy mice, a stuffed hedgehog, and more. All of my house cats like to get their cat treats out of cat treat dispensers, except for Garfunkel. Garfunkel wants his treat placed in front of him. Around 1:00 PM, it is time for catnap number 2. Garfunkel likes to watch animals, westerns, and car racing on TV. At 4:00 PM, it is time for catnap number 3.

At 7:00 PM, my house cats take a last look at the birds for the day. Their last catnap of the day is a little after 7:00 PM. They eat a little bit of cat food before bedtime. When I go to bed, they go to bed.

My cat’s next door sit on their cat trees and watch the birds and me. Peter or Faith is on the lookout for cats in the morning, and they seem to tell the other cats that I am up and will be over soon to tend to their needs and wants for the day. I find them sleeping in their cat beds, hammocks, sizeable fluffy cat mat, and on guard in the cat trees. They come running once I open the door. I give them fresh water, fill up their food dishes, and clean out the litter boxes, except for the automatic ones that get cleaned once a week. Cali and Mr. Gray immediately deposit the litter box so I can clean it out before I leave for the morning. They watch me open up a nice can of cat food for a little extra snack for the day for them. They take turns eating their portions of the delicious canned treat.

I find various cat toys lying on the floor when I arrive in the morning. Toy mice stuffed with catnip are a big hit, along with singing birds, balls, and a bat whose stomach lights up when it is tossed around. They love it when I pat or brush them on the head in the morning.

All of my cats love and enjoy different toys and games. My cats have learned my routine for what time frame I will take care of them. My cats give me joy and love every day of my life.
