Lost and Found

Ephesians 2: 12

That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the World :

Luke 15: 8 -9

What woman having ten pieces of silver, if she loses one piece, doth light a candle, sweep the house, and seek diligently till she finds it?

And when she found it, she calleth her friends and neighbors together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece I had lost.

When we have lost something, we get anxious and nervous and start turning our house upside down until we once again have found our long-lost treasure. We feel great relief once we have found our lost item and returned it to its proper place in our home.

church

 

We get lost in the shuffle of life and forget the essential things in our life. We do not want to lose our relationship with God. Without our relationship with God, our relationships with other people suffer greatly. Go to church and surround yourself with others who want a long and lasting relationship with God. Belong to groups that bring out the best in you and support you along life’s many challenges. Make time for friends and family, and do not take them for granted; life is short, so spend your days wisely and effectively.

Comfort people when they feel like they are lost, so they feel like they have been found again. God is always there for you when you have lost your way in life. A sickness or an illness might be a way for you to realign your relationship with God and spread God’s good works to others that have a disease or loss in their life so that we may all feel like we have been found again for a higher calling or purpose in our life here on Earth.

Spring Cleaning for Your cats Optimal Health

Spring Cleaning for Your Cats Optimal Health

Start your cat’s Spring with clean bedding, water bowls, food dishes, litter boxes, and more. I wash my cat’s bedding in hot soapy water with fabric softener. My cats love fresh fluffy clean bedding to sleep on. I clean out each food dish and water bowl and replace old plastic ones that are hard to get 100 % pure. I clean the litter boxes outdoors with dish pan soap and an excellent firm brush or replace them with new litter boxes.

20160106_124613

For farm cats, replace their old straw bedding with fresh straw or hay if that is all available now. Clean up their food and water bowls. Check their heated cat beds for cracks or other hazards and have a replacement bed on hand for next winter. Heated cat beds are on sale in the late spring and summer months.

Clean your house’s tile, vinyl floors, or carpet so you will not have to deal with fleas in your home and on your cats. I bathe some of my cats and brush and comb out their hair regularly. Change your litter often, as fleas are in dirty litter boxes and junk on your floors. Do not let your cats outdoors, as they can pick up fleas from being outdoors. Fleas can cause health problems for you and your cat. If your cat gets fleas regardless of all your precautions, take him to your vet to get treated ASAP. You will need an exterminator to come to your home to eliminate your flea infestation.

Take your cats to your vet to check their teeth, as bad teeth can cause many health problems. Get all of your cat’s vaccinations up to date. As the old saying goes, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Ask your vet about flea and heartworm medicine for cats and a shot for feline leukemia. I hope you and your cats have a wonderful and healthy Spring.

Spring

Spring

Genesis  1: 11

And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose origin is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.

Proverbs  27: 25

The hay appeareth, the tender grass showeth itself, and the herbs of the mountains are gathered.

I love Spring as it is a time of rebirth and re-awakenings. The seed that rested over the winter months burst into life again. The blossoms on the trees burst open, showing pretty flowers. New life is coming into the world as baby calves are born, and petite chicks break out of their shells to get their first look at the world.

The rains come and wash away the dirt that is left on the ground during the winter months. The earth looks clean and bright, and the buds on the trees are opening up more and more to show off their true fantastic beauty. Bees are getting ready to pollinate trees and gardens.

holly hocks

Birds have returned from their migration to build a new nests and start their new families again. The male birds sing lovely songs to attract their new mate for the year. All the birds are in the beautiful music and plucking up insects and worms from the ground to eat and feed to their offspring.

20151027_142925

Spring is a time of year for all of us to rebirth and regains a better relationship with God. We should study our Bible more and be more attentive to the needs of others. Pray for those sick, poor, or homeless, and help them however possible.

I love to plant a garden and watch the seeds turn into healthy, robust plants that I can eat and freeze and eat over the winter months. The corn fields are generally over knee high by the fourth of July. Remember that Spring is a time of renewal and rebirth for man, animals, and plants.

Taste of The Wild Rocky Mountain Canned Cat Food from Chewy.Com

Taste Of The Wild Rocky Mountain Canned Cat Food from Chewy.Com

I was provided Taste of The Wild Rocky Mountain Canned cat Food from Chewy.Com to facilitate my review. All thoughts are 100 % honest and my own.

Taste of the Wild cat food is made with Salmon and Roasted Venison in gravy and is grain free. I am feeding the dry  Taste of the Wild food to all my cats, who love it. I was excited to learn that they started making canned cat food.

I opened up two cans of Taste of the Wild and placed them on opposite ends of the house for my cat next door to eat. Russ ate up the Salmon and Roasted Venison in gravy quickly. Bella jumped from her heated bed and inhaled her Taste of Wild canned cat food from Chewy.Com.

20170311_073124

I went to the other room in the house and noticed Faith gobbling up her Taste of Wild canned cat food. My three cat brothers, Hilford, Sherlock, and Mr. Gray ate the same food dish. They licked out every single morsel and all of the gravy out of their food dish. After my three cat brothers were done eating, they all laid down side by side in their cat beds for a nice relaxing cat nap after an excellent meal of Taste of the Wild.

20170311_073112

My outdoor cat Maggie came up to the house, and I gave her some of the Taste of the Wild with Salmon and Roasted Venison in gravy from Chewy.Com. I wish she enjoyed it immensely. I saw Onyx looking out of one of the outdoor buildings, and I gave him a large share of the Taste of the Wild canned cat food, and he had it completely gone in one minute or less. My cats love to eat Taste of the Wild Cat Food from Chewy.Com. My cats love their Taste of the Wild brand cat foods positively.

Unreliable

Unreliable

Ecclesiastes  10: 18

By much slothfulness the building decayeth: and through idleness of the hands the house droppeth through.

Deuteronomy  32: 28

They are a nation void of counsel; neither is there any understanding in them.

We always want to hire reliable people that we can trust to get the job done right the first time around. When you hire an unreliable person, it is frustrating and annoying. I want things done in a professional and precise manner. I want a worker that I do not have to stand around and watch to ensure he is doing his job the way I would.

Years ago, my Father hired a carpenter to put up ceiling tile. The carpenter cut around the light fixture instead of taking it down and making a small hole for the wires to fit through. My Father had to redo the ceiling tile himself. I had to tell a carpenter how to put a new windowsill in years ago.

An unreliable car can be beyond annoying. The vehicle may not start when needed or never gets you from point A to point B. I sold that car and was glad to be rid of it. The car I sold was a 1987 car that I had bought used.

We need reliable people who we can always count on. God is always faithful, and we can always rely on God to be by our side in a crisis. God helps us when we need him the most.

red lighthouse

What does it mean to be reliable? Being reliable means you will show up to work on time and get things done quickly and professionally. You will be there when your friends, family, or relatives need you. There is no valid reason for people to be unreliable. God is reliable 24/7.

Conrad and the Cuckoo Clock

Conrad and the Cuckoo Clock

I had my Cuckoo Clock repaired, and it did not work on the wall where it used to work. My clock repair man told me to move it to another wall.

I moved the Cuckoo Clock to another wall, and it would work for 11 or 26 hours and then stop. There was no rhyme or reason for my clock’s erratic behavior. I checked to make sure the watch was level, which it was. One day my clock stopped after two hours; I was highly frustrated with my Cuckoo Clock.

20170304_103139

Conrad, my youngest house cat, loves watching birds eat out of my bird feeders. He loves to play with cat toy birds that sing or make a noise.

Conrad could not reach my Cuckoo Clock, which used to hang on the wall. The new location for my Cuckoo Clock was next to the bookcase in my dining room. I was reading a book one day in my living room when I saw Conrad jump on top of the bookcase and stop the pendulum of the Cuckoo Clock with his paw so the pendulum would not hit him in the head as he tried to remove the singing bird from my Cuckoo Clock. I told Conrad to stop and jump down from the bookcase, which he did.

20150523_175227

Conrad is very clever. He waits until I am outdoors before he stops the clock. Conrad has finally lost his fascination with the wooden bird in the Cuckoo Clock, and the bird can come out directly to announce the hour and the half-hour without worrying about Conrad dismantling him.

img_20150815_130542

I told my clock repair man to ask people if they have a cat before he repairs their Cuckoo Clock. He got a chuckle when I said to him that Conrad was the cat burglar; my Cuckoo Clock is glad it can still announce the hour and the half-hour without Conrad’s help.

Cursing or Swearing

Cursing or Swearing

Psalms 109:  17 – 18

As he loved cursing, let it come unto him: as he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him.

As he clothed himself with cursing like his garment, let it come into his bowels like water and like oil into his bones.

One of the Ten Commandments is: Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain.

Cursing will get you nowhere in life. It will set you back in life. Cursing or Swearing is a lack of intelligence on your part to use a better word to express how you are feeling just as effectively or more effectively than the swear word can. Do not take the name of our Lord thy God in vain, for he is always listening and looking at what you are writing or saying to each other about him.

20150825_054109

I do not enjoy watching a movie that uses a swear word in every other sentence. I do not enjoy talking to someone that is constantly swearing. I do not buy books to read that I know they are claiming and cursing up a storm in the book. If you cannot write a book without swearing, it is a massive problem regarding respect for God. God found it easy and healthy to communicate with people without swearing or cursing.

Remember, if you start swearing or cursing, it will be harder for you to stop doing it because it will be like a garment you clothe yourself with daily. God and other people will lose respect for you. Always watch the words that come out of your mouth, as you can never take them back again.

My Father once told me if I start swearing someday, I will do it in the most inappropriate spot and feel embarrassed and ashamed of myself. Remember, you never want to take the name of the Lord thy God in vain. Speak to others and write to others without the use of swear words, and it will take you far in life.

Cats Have Compassion

Cats Have Compassion

Cats care about one another’s well-being. Cats will lick and clean each other and empathize with a sickly kitten. I had a Siamese cat that did not like other cats, but she showed great compassion for a weak little kitten that I had brought into my house to nurse back to health. She would let the little kitten sleep in her cat bed with her. My Siamese cat would clean the little kitten like she was his Mother.

Cats are very attentive when you are feeling sick. I had one of my cats check on me every hour on hour after I had had surgery. He would come into the room, meow loudly, and stay until I told him I was okay. Cats will lie beside you and purr away when you do not feel well.

20151109_101734

When I have taken a cat to the vet for surgery, my other cats flock around, lick, and comfort him when I bring him back into my house. My other cats will even let the cat patient eat their cat treats. My cats have even shared their rodent catch of the day with an older outdoor cat.

When my Mother died, my Siamese cat sat on the bathtub’s edge and had a wailing meow for several days. Cats love a good and excellent caregiver and miss them dearly when they can no longer care for them.

My cats became very fond of a goat I once had; they would sleep in his dog house with him. We had a small dog, and the cat, goat, and dog would go hunting together. The goat would veer into the cornfield, and my cat and dog would help each other catch the mouse they were after at the edge of the area. Our small dog would let the cat and her kittens share her dog house with her; that way, they all stayed nice and comfy.

Triumph

Triumph

         Genesis  4: 7                                                                                                                                                                                                                         If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? And if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire,  and thou shalt rule over him.

2 Chronicles 14: 11

And Asa cried unto the Lord his God, and said, Lord, it is nothing with thee to help, whether with many or with them that have no power: help us O Lord our God; for we rest on thee and in thy name we go against this multitude. O Lord, thou art our God; let not man prevail against thee.

Will you triumph in your relationship with God? Will you avoid the evil that knocks on your door and tries to influence your life and values? If someone tries to lead you down the wrong path, avoid them at all costs. Your relationship with God is much more important than trying to fit in with a group of people that will only drag you down and harm you in the long run.

Choose your friends wisely, as the old saying goes. You become exactly like the company you keep. You start to believe in their values and develop the same mannerisms. Stand firm on your beliefs and values, and you will triumph. Do not follow the multitude if you know they are wrong. Do not follow a herd of Elephants, as you may be trampled and lose the values that make you the beautiful person you are now.

crystal

 

You triumph in this life, God’s good works, and helping needy people. Be kind and considerate to people and animals. If you make a mess, clean it up, and don’t leave it for someone else. Have friends in your life who support you and have values similar to yours. Be firm on your Christian values, and you will have triumphed in your relationship with God.

Solid Gold Purrfect Pairings with chicken liver and goat milk from Chewy.Com

Solid Gold Purrfect Pairings with chicken liver and goat milk from Chewy.Com

I was provided Solid Gold Purrfect Pairings with chicken liver and goat milk from Chewy.Com to facilitate my review. All thoughts are 100 % honest and my own.

I first gave solid gold cat food to my three outdoor cats. I put some in the corn crib, and Maggie’s sister ate it up very quickly. She was growling at Maggie while Maggie ate her portion. Onyx got in on the cat food later and finished what little was left.

20151004_135707

The Solid Gold cat food has a Savory Mousse texture, making it easy for an older cat to chew it up quickly. The goat milk in the Solid Gold is an aid to your cat’s health and digestive system. Solid Gold is a Holistic life, e-stage cat food that is grain– and gluten-free. A full-grown cat can eat up to two containers in one day, and a lactating Mother cat can have three containers in one day.

I gave my cats next door some of the Solid Gold Purrfect Pairings with chicken liver and goat milk from Chewy.Com. Bella would not stop eating the Solid Gold cat food and growled at my other cats as they ate away at the Solid Gold cat food. Mr. Gray, Hilford, Sherlock, and Addi loved the Solid Gold with the chicken liver and goat milk. Mr. Gray ensured he got every last savory morsel of his portion eaten up.

I put some Solid Gold in another room for Cali and Faith to eat. Cali was purring away the whole time she ate her portion of Solid Gold from Chewy.Com. Faith loved to lick away at the Solid Gold cat food and savor the flavor of every bit before she would finally swallow it.

All of my cats seemed to savor the flavor of Solid Gold Purrfect Pairings with chicken liver and goat milk from Chewy.Com.
