Time

Ecclesiastes 1: 4

One generation passeth away and another generation cometh: but the earth abideth forever.

1 Chronicles 29: 15

For we are strangers before thee and sojourners, as were our fathers: our days on earth are as a shadow, and there is none abiding.

Job 9: 26

They are passed away like the swift ships: the eagle that hasteth prey.

Time is a valuable gift. Do not flutter away your days on earth. Make your days on earth creative and beautiful because today is a gift from God, and do not waste the day away on unnecessary things. Ensure you learn something new daily, as this will enrich your days.

Spend time with friends and relatives because the day will come when they will no longer be on earth. Family time enriches your children’s life and lets them know you love them. Meet up with friends and family often, go to lunch, dinner, or coffee, and spend quality time together. When you give people the gift of your time together, they know they are appreciated and loved.

Travel while you can and see the earth’s majestic beauty, and you will be amazed at all the sights and things you can learn by traveling. Go to the countries of your heritage and learn more about your roots. Look at the mountains, oceans, and buildings, and learn more about the people and their heritage in each country you travel to.

The older you get, the more you know how precious time is here. Do not put off for tomorrow what you know you can achieve today, as tomorrow may not come to you. Time is like two ships that pass in the night. Spend your time helping people that need your love and support. Spend quality time with family and friends while you can. The day will come too soon, and you will lose family members and friends. You will never regret spending quality time with your loved ones. May your time in life be enjoyable healthy, and long.

Petstages Tower of Tracks Circle Toy for One or More Cats from Chewy.Com

1 Comment on Petstages Tower of Tracks Circle Toy for One or More Cats from Chewy.Com

I was provided Petstages Tower of Tracks Cat Toy from Chewy.Com to facilitate my review. All thoughts are 100 % honest and my own.

I gave the Petstages Tower of Tracks to my cats on Christmas day. The toy has three brightly colored balls, which immediately attracted my cat’s attention. The color of the track that holds the balls is orange. Cats love to play with toys that have bright colors. Garfunkel did not wait for me to get it out of the packaging before he started to play with it.

Conrad was my first cat that played with the Petstages Tower of Tracks toy for cats. Conrad played with the toy for at least ten minutes before my cat Kohl entered. One cat would bat the ball while the other would bat it back again. They played with the Tower of Tracks toy for at least 20 minutes.

Kohl started playing with the Track toy again in the afternoon. He batted away at the ball vigorously and acted like he was a kitten again. Kohl is eight years old and has not been keen on playing with cat toys much anymore, but the Tower of Tracks cat toy captivated him. Kohl got plenty of exercise playing with his new Petstages Tower of Tracks toy for cats from Chewy.Com. In the evening, Kohl played with the toy and would not let my other cats play with it. Kohl put his body as close to the Tower of Tracks toy as possible. Later on, he and Conrad play together for a long time.

My cat Garfunkel was intrigued by the Tower of Tracks toy after watching Conrad and Kohl play with it. Garfunkel batted away at the balls on the three different tracks as fast as he possibly could bat them around the track. Garfunkel kept his eye on the Petstages Tower of Tracks Toy constantly.

The following day Kohl was playing with the Tower of Tracks toy. I never saw an older cat get as excited and happy about a toy as Kohl is about this lovely, brightly colored cat toy. I highly recommend a Petstages Tower of Tracks toy for your feline friends.

Christmas

Isaiah 9: 6 – 7

For unto us, a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

Of the increase of his government and peace, there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and his kingdom, to order it and to establish it with judgment and justice from henceforth, even forever. The Zeal of the Lord of host will perform this.

Matthew 2: 1 – 2

Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the King, behold there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,

I was saying where is he that is born King of the Jews? We have seen his star in the east and are coming to worship him.

Christmas is about celebrating the birth of our heavenly Father, Christ the Lord. Christmas is not about Christmas presents. Christmas is a time that we rejoice in the delivery of Christ. I love spending Christmas with family and friends and feeling valued as Christ was when he was born in a manger. Before we eat on Christmas day, we say the Lord’s prayer and bless the food and all the hands that went into the preparation of the meal, and we are thankful for all who are gathered at the table this year. We remember our loved ones who have passed on and are grateful for the time that the Lord gave us the wonderful gift of having them bless our lives.

Christmas represents peace, joy, love, and hope. Christ the Lord has given us peace, joy, love, and hope. Spending time with loved ones at Christmas gives you a feeling of great joy. Seeing the Church lite up on Christmas eve surrounds you with hope for the future. Peace and harmony are abundant with family, friends, and Church on Christmas day. There is no love equal to the love our Lord Jesus has for everyone here on earth.

Remember, Christmas is about celebrating the birth of our Lord, The Prince of Peace. Spend time with loved ones on Christmas day, always remembering that Christmas is all about the birth of Christ. Have a blessed and Merry Christmas.

I was provided Purina Muse Natural Ocean Whitefish & Mackerel Canned Cat Food from Chewy.Com to facilitate my review. All thoughts are 100 % honest and my own.

Purina Muse is grain free with fish, chicken liver, spinach, sweet potatoes, and many vitamins and minerals. Purina Muse is made in the USA. Feed one can per 3.5 lbs. of your cat’s body weight.

I opened a can of Muse, and my cat next door went wild. My cats could hardly wait for me to get the Muse into their cat dish for them to devour. Mr. Gray inhaled his portion. Addi ate up some Muse quickly. Russ butted his head into the food dish to eat his fair share.

Hilford and Sherlock had been sound to sleep in their heated cat bed. The smell of Purina Muse Natural Ocean Whitefish & Mackerel Canned Cat Food from Chewy.Com quickly got them on their toes. Hilford is very shy, but let me pat him on his nose so he could keep eating up the Muse canned cat food. Sherlock ate up a lot of the Muse also.

Cali jumped off her heated windowsill bed to eat up some Purina Muse, and Faith decided to join her; they did not like to share, but they did. I put some of the Muse up on a shelf where Peter was resting so he could have some later.

Bella ate the Purina Muse Natural Ocean Whitefish & Mackerel canned cat food from Chewy.Com. She hissed the whole time that she ate so no other cat would even attempt to eat any while she was eating. Cali and Faith let her eat in peace. Bella must have thought I am the oldest and do not feel like sharing at this time in my life. All of my cats next door give Purina Muse paws up.

The Ball is in Your Court How You Live Your Life is Your Destiny

No Comments on The Ball is in Your Court How You Live Your Life is Your Destiny

Isaiah 25: 1

Lord, thou art my God; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name; for thou hast done wonderful things; thy counsels of old are faithfulness and truth.

1 Peter 2: 8

And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: they were also appointed.

It is just as easy to say a kind word to someone other than a word that will harm or hurt them. Remember, the spoken word is like a sped arrow shot into the night. You can never retrieve it. Give a lot of thought to what you will say before you utter the wrong words from your mouth.

Don’t do God’s good work because tomorrow is not a given. It is a gift from God. Live your life according to the Gospel because God watches your every move, word, mannerism, and thoughts. Shower people with God’s love and let them always know that God loves them unconditionally.

Do good always and refrain from evil thoughts and actions in your life. Evil only bestows more evil. Good will always prevail over evil in the end. The wrong person will be called in front of God on judgment day, and God will decide his Destiny.

Are you satisfied with the way you have lived your life so far? If not, change it. You are in charge of your Destiny on Earth, and you only have one life to live, so make it a good one that you and God can both be proud of.

Do not live your life in a stalemate. Be slow to anger and be quick to move on with your life in a positive direction. Forgive people that have hurt you because if you don’t, it will hurt you much more than it will them in the long run. Live a life that will make your parents, friends, and everyone proud to have known you.

Getting Your Cats Ready For the Cold Winter Months

Getting Your Cats Ready For the Cold Weather Months

No Comments on Getting Your Cats Ready For the Cold Weather Months

Make sure all of your cat’s shots are up to date. The distemper shot is critical because many young cats die of distemper over the winter. A cat with a distemper loses weight quickly and has respiratory problems and diarrhea.

Make sure all of your cat’s heated beds are working correctly. You can place a pillow in the heated bed to see if it feels warm. If so, your cat’s heated bed is working correctly. Check if the heated water bowl works on the first cold day of the season. I always keep an extra power strip on hand in case my old one quits working. I always keep two new heated cat beds on hand if one of my old ones quits working. Changes are that the old heated cat bed will stop working in the middle of a blizzard.

Ensure outdoor cats have a warm place to get out of the cold in the winter. An outdoor cat can get frostbite quickly and lose the tips of their ears. Cats’ paws can become rough, cracked, and bleed from outdoors on cold ground and walking in the snow. My outdoor cats have a cat building, a heated bed, a water dish, and an old chicken nest with straw.

I give my outdoor cats extra food in winter to help them maintain their body weight and to help ward off sickness. Make sure your cat has fresh, clean water to drink every day. Check on your cats often in the winter to make sure they are were it is safe and warm.

I hope you and your cats have a cozy, safe, and healthy winter. Make sure you and your cats stay indoors when the weather is terrible.

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.

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

2 Comments on 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.

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.

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.

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.

No Comments on 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.

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.

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.
