Friendship

John 15: 13 – 15

Greater love hath no man than this: a man lay down his life for his friends.

Ye are my friends; if ye do whatsoever, I command you.

Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends: for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.

Proverbs 17: 17

A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.

Job 6: 14

To him, that is afflicted pity should be showed from his friend, but he forsaketh the fear of the Almighty.

Friends are always there for you through the good and bad times. You share your unique experiences, and you can usu, ally complete each other’s sentences before they are done talking. You understand each other fully and completely. A friend will not forsake you when you are sick. A friend will always stand up for you. A friend in need is a friend indeed.

Friends are a gift from God. Friends are more precious than anything else in the entire world. Without friends, you would be incomplete, empty, and lonely. Friends help you see the sunshine in a rainstorm. Friends always bring out the best in you and compliment you on your successes in life. Your friends are your best cheerleaders, and they always cheer you on to get the most you can out of your life. A true friend is loyal and devoted to their friend. Whatever comes their way, they will help each other through it.

20150604_200323

True friends are as hard to find as a nugget of gold at the end of a rainbow, but, my dear friend, you are my nugget of gold that I will never let go of. A friend can cheer you up quickly, making you feel like you are walking in a new dimension. A true friend will come into your life unexpectedly.

Our soldiers have fought with pride, honor, and gallantry and have stood loyal to their friends in the most horrific times. Many soldiers have laid down their own lives to save their friend’s life. As it says in John 15: 13  There is no greater love than a man who lays down his own life for his friends.

Oh, my dear friend, you’re always there with your presence,r dreams,s and happy gestures, and just being yourself. A true friend is not judgmental, is not boastful, a true friend shows no malice, a true friend is not jealous in any way. Oh, my dear friend, you always add a gentle touch as if I am walking on clouds that clear the sadness and fill me with happiness when we are together now and always. God Bless you, my faithful friend.

What Does A Cat Owner Want For Christmas

What Does A Cat Owner Want For Christmas

A cat owner always wants the best quality items possible for their feline friends.

I want a new heated cat bed for my cats so they can enjoy the cold winter nights in complete and total comfort. Chewy.Com has a large selection of fine heated cat beds to choose from. They have heated beds for your indoor and outdoor cats.

My cats like their Litter Maid self-cleaning litter box. After a long day at work, you don’t want to scoop away at cleaning your cat’s litter box. The Litter Maid self-cleaning litter box does all the cleanings for a pleasant and relaxing evening.

Cat Litter

I like stainless steel water and food dishes as they are easier to clean and do not break if you happen to drop them. Plastic plates and water bowls become brittle with time. Plastic bowls stain easily and look unappealing.

My cats like to eat more cat treats as the weather gets colder. Chewy.Com has a vast selection of good quality cat treats that are made in the USA to choose from.

My felines like to play with catnip-filled cat toys. They like catnip-filled toy mice, balls, snails, balls on strings, and pretty much any cat toy filled with catnip.

A gift certificate from a pet store is a perfect item for you to give to any pet owner. They can pick out what they need for their pet at this particular moment in time.

A cat owner would like some Udderly Smooth Hand Cream from UdderlySmooth.com to keep their hands nice and silky smooth after cleaning up their cats.

udderly cream

A cat owner always needs suitable quality cat litter and cat food. I like to ensure all of my cat’s food is made in the USA or Canada.

I hope this post helps you choose the perfect gift for all your friends with a feline or two in their household.

Treasures in Maiden Rock Wisconsin

Treasures in Maiden Rock, Wisconsin

An Artisan Baker runs the Smiling Pelican Bakery. All of her baked goods are made from top-quality ingredients. I love her banana cream pie. It is made with natural whipping cream on top of the pie. I love everything that I have ever tried at the Smiling Pelican Bakery. Her Ginger lavender cookies are out of this World. She has a vast selection of baked goods to choose from. There are many kinds of cookies, cheesecakes, quiches, pies, scones, bread, soups, panna cotta, cakes, bars, and more. I have traveled to many countries in the World, and nothing compares in quality and taste to Sandra’s top-quality baked goods. You can eat inside the bakery, on the porch, or in her beautiful flower garden. It is a very scenic drive to the Smiling Pelican Bakery, and a wonderful treat is here for you upon your arrival in Maiden Rock.

I like the Cultural Cloth Store in Maiden Rock. She sells items that women in foreign countries make. I purchased a beautiful rug that was made in Guatemala by a woman. By buying the items in Cultural Cloth, you also help out the women who made the item you purchased. I also purchased a necklace made out of a bone. It is a gorgeous piece of handmade jewelry I will always treasure and feel good about buying because I helped out a woman in need in a foreign country.

I like Basil’s antiques and unique items that he has for sale. I have purchased many items at Basil’s over the years. I bought a music box, cross, belt, bowl, and many unique and exciting things. There are several other lovely stores in Maiden Rock. An incredible drive with lots of treasures to choose from upon your arrival. They are out of business now.

Buddy Biscuits Grain Free Turkey Cat Treats from Chewy.Com

Buddy Biscuits Grain Free Turkey Cat Treats from Chewy.Com

My cat next door loved the Buddy Biscuits from Chewy.Com. I gave Russ, Mr. Gray, Addi, and Cali some cat treats. They gobbled up every cat treat I put in front of them. Sherlock, Hilford, and Nicole came out of hiding to eat up the Buddy Biscuits from Chewy.Com. I put out some treats for Peter, and he ate every morsel of the Buddy Biscuits.

Conrad

Buddy Biscuits are grain-free and gluten-free. They are made with natural turkey, cheddar, fresh ingredients, and nothing artificial. They are a fun, healthy, tasty snack for your cat. Buddy Biscuits with savory turkey and cheddar is made in the USA in St. Louis, MO.

Maggie could not get enough of the Buddy Biscuits. Maggie purred away the whole time she was eating her Buddy Biscuits. Onyx looks in the window so I will notice him and come out with more cat treats for him to eat. Onyx always gets some more treats by looking at me. Maggie’s sister showed up for some of the Buddy Biscuits from Chewy.Com. She devoured the Biscuits so Maggie would not eat them up before she did.

My house cats, Kohl and Garfunkel, ate the Buddy Biscuits the minute I placed them in front of them. Kohl followed me around the house, hoping I would give him some more Buddy Biscuits from Chewy.Com. Garfunkel kept rubbing across my legs. Kohl and Garfunkel will get more cat treats tonight.

Garfunkel 3

I strive to give my cats the healthiest cat food and treats made in the USA or Canada. I like a cat treat with all-natural ingredients, no fillers, or anything artificial. My cats give the Buddy Biscuits from Chewy.Com paws up.

Gather Dry Cat food with Organic Chicken from Petcurean.Com/gather

Gather Dry Cat Food with Organic Chicken from Petcurean.Com/gather

I was provided Gather Dry Cat food with Organic Chicken from Petcurean.Com/gather to facilitate my review. All thoughts are 100 % honest and my own.

Maggie, my outdoor cat, loved gathering dry cats from Petcurean.Com/gather. I placed the collected food right next to her old brand of dry cat food, and she ate every single morsel of the gathered cat food and would not go near her old brand of dry cat food.

maggie

I like the fact that gathering cat food is made in Canada. Petcurean is a family-owned business located in Canada. Gather Free Acres Recipe With Organic free-run chicken is made with poultry raised without antibiotics. The recipe is a single poultry protein made with fresh and dehydrated chicken that is grain- and gluten-free. There are a lot of vitamins and minerals in their dry cat food. I like that the morsels of dry cat food are tiny and easy for any cat to chew up and swallow easily.

Garfunkel 2

I gave my cats next door the Gather dry cat food with Organic Chicken from Petcurean.Com/gather. I placed the Gather food next to their regular food. My cat next door ate up all the gathered dry cat food and would not go near their familiar brand of cat food.

Russ, Addi, Mr. Gray, Bella, Faith, and Cali quickly ate the Gather dry cat food. Sherlock came along later and finished the rest of the Gather dry cat food with organic chicken.

addi

My cats have never craved and loved dry cat food as much as they do. Gather dry cat food from Petcurean.Com/gather. My cats know good quality dry cat food when they taste it. I know they found the size of the morsels easy to chew up and swallow. My cats and I have found a fantastic new dry cat food that is healthy and nutritious for them daily. Gather gets paws up from all of my cats.

I first gave the Merrick Thanksgiving Day Dinner canned cat food to my three outdoor cats. Maggie and her sister devoured the food quickly. Onyx came running to eat up his portion of the Merrick Bistro Thanksgiving Day Dinner canned cat food from Chewy.Com.

My cat next door ate the Merrick Thanksgiving Day Dinner canned cat food from Chewy.Com this morning. Faith was delighted with every bite. Russ, Hilford, and Mr. Gray started eating the Merrick canned cat food when I sat it down in front of them. Bella ate away at the canned cat food until she could not eat anymore. Sherlock and Nicole are timid cats, and they ate the Merrick canned cat food the minute I left the room where I had placed the food. Addi always lets her full-grown kittens eat the food first, and then she eats what is left over, which is not much. Cali always likes to lick out any leftovers in the can.

All my cat’s next door and outdoor cats seemed delighted with the Merrick Bistro Thanksgiving Day Dinner canned cat food from Chewy.Com. They give it paws up—happy Thanksgiving Day to you and your feline family.

True Wealth

True Wealth

Ecclesiastes   5: 12 – 13

The sleep of a laboring man is sweet, whether he eats little or much: but the abundance of the rich will not suffer him to sleep.

There is a sore evil that I have seen under the sun. Namely, riches kept for the owners thereof to their hurt.

A man’s true Wealth is what he has left behind when he dies. A wealthy man will have helped as many people as possible in his lifetime. He should be a giving and caring, and compassionate man. A rich man will have many friends and family members that he respects and cares for, and they care for him, also.

church

A wealthy man will have an excellent relationship with God and do his absolute best to follow The Ten Commandments every day of his life. He will remember the Golden Rule – Do Unto Others As You Would Have Them Do Unto You. He will place the Sabbath Day and live in a Christian manner every day of the week. He will be a good steward of the land, be good to God’s creation and give freely.

True Wealth is not about money. Friends and Family are the True Wealth of any man. Without friends or Family, you are the poorest man in the World. To be content and pleased, you need love, joy, hope, peace, and caring people. Money will not buy you happiness. Sometimes the wealthy are the unhappiest people.

A truly wealthy man will have people at his funeral who will say he sure helped many people in his lifetime. He was a wonderfully caring and compassionate person. This is what a genuinely wealthy man will have left behind when he dies.

Strive to be a truly wealthy man in your lifetime.

What Gifts To Buy Your Cat For Christmas

What Gifts To Buy Your Cat For Christmas

Cats like an extra warm area to sleep in. A lovely heated cat bed would be the perfect gift for any cat. My cats like to sleep on a big fluffy towel in a box that is easy for them to get in and out of. My cats also enjoy a hammock cat bed and windowsill heated cat beds.

Conrad in a heated bed

Cats will be delighted if they get new catnip toys for Christmas presents. Cats love to play with balls that they bat around with their paws. A talking bird cat toy will delight your cat for hours as it pounces on it and chirps like a live bird. Cats like to play with sponges and empty toilet paper rolls, also. Toy mice are a must for Christmas presents in my house, as my cats love to toss them and pounce on them.   Cats love tuna canned in water and various cat treats for Christmas.

20151227_112008

New cat dishes, water bowls, and litter boxes are healthier for your cat. Old words that are scratched up can harbor germs in the cavities of the scratches that you can never get 100 % clean, and the same goes for old litter boxes.

Get your cat shots up to date and have your vet give your cat a complete physical for a Christmas present. A gift of good health is the best gift you can give your cat. You and your cat will have many Christmases to share over the years. Have your cat’s teeth cleaned. Dirty or bad teeth can lead to a lot of health issues.

Spend part of Christmas day playing with your cat. Cats love playing with string toys with a fish or bird at the end of the string. Your cat will bat away at the fish or bird at the end of the line for a long time.

20151127_142718

I hope you and your cat have many healthy and happy Christmases to come.

My Former Doctor Told me He Was Overwhelmed

My Former Doctor Told Me He Was Overwhelmed

2  Timothy    4: 5

But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.

marblehead photo

I don’t know about you, but I do not want to go to an overwhelmed doctor. I want my Doctor to be on top of all of my health issues and listen to all of my health concerns and problems and address my health issues quickly and efficiently. If your Doctor falls short of a correct diagnosis for you, it may be a matter of life or death.

I went to the ER several times with health problems, and he thought all of my concerns were just in my head. My trip to the ER did not help me out whatsoever.

Suppose you have an illness that your Doctor seems overwhelmed with; go to as many doctors as it takes to get the correct diagnosis and treatment for your condition. Always remember not to let your Doctor play with your life expectancy. Keep going to Doctors until you feel satisfied that the Doctor you picked can understand and treat your illness correctly. Pick a doctor who has read up on your condition and understands your need in every manner possible for optimal health.

I am fortunate to have found a doctor who is very knowledgeable, caring, and concerned about treating and caring for me correctly. He even calls me in the evening to talk about my health and how I am coming along with my health concerns. My Doctor is proactive and very knowledgeable in his field of medicine.

My local Doctor has read up on my illness and understands what treatment is necessary for optimal health.

Please do not keep a doctor who wants to get unto his next patient and hardly gives you the time of day when you try to talk to him about your health problems. You have one life to live, so have a doctor who genuinely cares for you, and your health or life span may be shortened considerably. I wish all of you the best of health possible.

A Love For Cats

A Love For Cats

Humans have had an infatuation with cats from the beginning of time. The ancient Egyptians worshiped their Siamese cats. They mummified their cats and had them buried with them. Cats’ heads have the exact eye placement of human babies. Our cats weigh about what a young baby would consider.

Garfunkel 2

Cats are beneficial for removing rodents from our buildings and grain. They helped control the plague by eating and killing rodents. Cats have saved farmers a lot of money by killing the rats and mice that eat the grain on their farms. Before we had cats on our farm, rats ate the corn out of the old corn crib. Once we had cats on our farm, the rat population disappeared utterly.

Our black cats have not always had a fair rap. They were associated with witchcraft years ago and bad luck. My black cats have always given me joy and happiness.

Conrad by jewelry box

I find black cats no different than any other cat color in the feline world.

We love watching our feline friends play. Having a cat can lower our blood pressure and help us be more relaxed. Holding our cats and having them purr away is very comforting. It is nice to cuddle up next to your cat at night and hear them purr until you fall asleep.

Cats have alerted their owners of a fire in the night or a gas leak that has saved their owners’ lives. My black cat Sebastian told me a man was walking down my road at 9 PM. He looked out of the window and made a horrible growling sound. I pulled down my window shade for the rest of the evening.

Our cats are wonderful companions in our lives. Our cats do so very much for us every day. I truly appreciate all of the fine and loving felines I have and have had.
