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.

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

1 Comment on 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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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 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.

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

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.

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

Post author By Laura Weers
Post date February 20, 2017

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.

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.

Death and Compassion

Isaiah 38: 10 I said in the cutting off of my days, I shall go to the gates of the grave; I am deprived of the residue of my years.

Exodus 3: 7 And the Lord said, I have indeed seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt and have heard their cry because of their taskmaster; for I know their sorrows.

Death comes like a thief in the night. You are never prepared for it and do not know when your death will occur. Death does not care if you are rich or poor. It treats us all equally and comes to all of us.

What you do while living on this earth affects many more people than you know. A simple act of kindness could save someone’s life or a kind word. If you are in the hospital, a visit from a friend may give you the will to carry on and spread God’ss wonderful works to other people in need. All of us are put here on earth to serve God so that he can see us at our best.

Do random acts of kindness for people that they least expect and make their day brighter. God sometimes answers our prayers in ways we are unaware of until we think it through for a while. I have consistently grown closer to God when loved ones have died. God is my anchor and my salvation on earth. The lord came to serve, not to be done, and we should follow the same example. Always follow the Golden Rule.

I want to spread God’s good works while I can see them on earth. I want to visit the elderly in rest homes and the people in the Hospice program. The elderly have spent a lot of time teaching us through the years. The least we can do for them is to visit them while they are on their final journey in life.

Think about what you can do to spread God’s good works to people. Give food to the food bank, clothes to Goodwill, money to the salvation army for kids’ Christmas presents, and always listen to, be kind, considerate, and carrying and giving to other people. Fill people’s lives with joy, hope, peace, love, and compassion that you are here on earth daily.

I was provided Purina Pro Plan Dental Crunch Cat Snacks with Natural Chicken & Liver Flavors from Chewy.Com to facilitate my review. All thoughts are 100 % honest and my own.

I first gave the Purina Pro Plan dental cat snacks to my three house cats, Kohl, Garfunkel, and Conrad. Kohl inhaled his cat snacks. Garfunkel kept pushing the cat snacks out of my hand with his paws. I think Garfunkel was hoping beyond all hope that I would drop the entire bag of Purina dental cat snacks so he could finish off the whole bag. Conrad ate up his cat snacks quickly and kept coming around me most of the night, purring away constantly in hopes that I would break down and give him more and more Purina Dental Crunch cat snacks.

Purina Pro Plan Dental Crunch Cat Snacks from Chewy.Com are made in the USA. Their cat snacks help reduce tartar buildup on your cat’s teeth, and they help your cat have fresh breath. The Purina Pro Plan Dental Crunch Cat Snacks have no artificial colors or preservatives. A -fully grown cat over 5 lbs. can have up to 17 Purina Pro Plan dental cat snacks daily. Each piece of the dental cat snack has only 1.3 calories.

I gave some Purina dental cat snacks to Maggie, one of my outdoor cats. The second I put the treat out for her, it disappeared.

Russ, Addi, Hilford, Mr. Gray, Bella, Faith, Nicole, and Cali loved their Purina Pro Plan Dental Crunch Cat Snacks with Natural Chicken & Liver Flavors from Chewy.Com. Mr. Gray tried to eat up my other cat’s cat snacks, but they ate them up quickly, so he had to settle for his fair share. Cali and Hilford made short work of their dental cat snacks. Nicole generally likes to hide, but the smell of the dental cat snacks tired her, and she came out of hiding to eat some of the Purina Pro Plan Dental cat snacks—all paws up for the Purina Pro Plan Dental Cat Snacks from Chewy.Com.

Closer to Thee

Deuteronomy 4: 7

For what nation is there so great, who hath God so nigh unto them, as the Lord our God is in all things we call upon him for?

James 4: 8

Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners, purify your hearts, ye double-minded.

Getting closer to God is all about how you act around other people and read the Bible and if you follow the teachings in the Bible. Be kind to one another every day of your life. Help someone who needs a friendly voice, the elderly, the sick, the poor, and the downtrodden-ed. Remember, you will be on the receiving end someday and probably much sooner than you imagined possible.

Live each day of your life like it might be your last day on earth because it will eventually be your last day on earth. Ask yourself whether I gave help where it was needed today. Did I make someone smile today? Did I help someone carry their groceries to their car, and did I accomplish all the goals I could have today to help someone in need?

Visiting people regularly lifts their spirits and yours. When someone comes into a room, welcome them with open arms, and they will feel welcomed and return to the group again soon. Do not ignore people; it makes them uncomfortable and unwelcome. Treat people with respect and do not judge people, for you have no idea what they have been through or endured in their lifetime. People have dealt with horrific and terrible things through the years, so be kind, considerate, and compassionate to your fellow man.

No Comments on Frisco Scoopable Cat Litter from Chewy.Com

I was provided Frisco Scoopable cat litter from Chewy.Com to facilitate my review. All thoughts are 100 % honest and my own.

I left my old brand of cat litter in one of my litter boxes. I put the new Frisco cat litter in my other litter box. My house cat Garfunkel gave the new cat litter the smell test immediately. Frisco cat litter passed Garfunkel’s smell test, and he deposited it in the litter box directly.

My house cats used their Frisco Scoopable cat litter at night. It is a hard clumping cat litter that holds together well as you remove it from the litter box, making cleanup much more accessible. Frisco cat litter is fragrance-free, odor-neutralizing, low dust, low tracking, and formulated for Multi-Cat households. I love that Frisco Scoopable Cat Litter from Chewy.Com is made in Canada.

My house cats started using the Frisco cat litter in 24 hours. I think my cats like that the Frisco cat litter is fragrance-free. I know that most cats do not like perfume and are repulsed by the smell of most perfumes. I did not see any Frisco cat litter on the floor after my cats had exited their litter box.

I did not notice any cat litter stuck between the paws of my cats. I have had some cat litter stuck between my cats’ claws, which is not comfortable or sanitary for you or your cat. My house cats never even hesitated to use the Frisco scoopable cat litter from Chewy.Com.

My cats dig their new Frisco cat litter. My cats put their paws into it and made a direct deposit in a short amount of time.
