OH Yorkie!!!
I could “ see” it in my mind. I think that would be exactly what I would want too. Could I have my cottage on a ajoining hill?
I love the picnic tables...and weeping willows, and I would fish every day. Papa would have loved this place.
Now I bid you adeiu and good night....

SWEET DREAMS
I forgot to mention - in my 'dream' -
There are 20 cottages,
snuggled among all the trees!
(Yours and Mr. Wog's name
are on the door of the sweetest one!)
To: Kitty Mittens
May your slumber be blessed
In the warmth of His caring Hands, Kitty Mittens!
Sweet Dreams!

Hope you are having a peaceful sleep, JC!

Becoming Whole
Do you want to be made well? John 5:6
John Steinbecks Pulitzer prizewinning novel
The Grapes of Wrath begins with a scene in drought-ravaged Oklahoma during the Great Depression. With the crops dying and the land choked by dust, the women watched the men to see if they would break under the strain. When they saw the mens will to carry on, they took heart. Steinbeck writes, Women and children knew deep in themselves that no misfortune was too great to bear if their men were whole. The issue was not happiness, prosperity, or satisfaction, but wholeness. This is the great need of us all.
In the King James Version of the Bible, the word whole is often used to describe Jesus work of physical healing. When the Lord encountered a man who had been an invalid for 38 years, He asked, Wilt thou be made whole? (John 5:5-6 kjv). After Jesus healed the man, He challenged him to also embrace spiritual wholeness: See, you have been made well. Sin no more, lest a worse thing come upon you (v.14).
If we only want something Jesus can do for us, our relationship with Him will be limited. When we want Jesus Himself, He brings completeness to our lives. Christ wants, first and foremost, to make us whole.
I thank Thee for Thy precious Word
Where Thou didst make me see
My sinful self, my helpless soul,
Made whole by trusting Thee. Anon.

....GOOD Morning Mayor..I couldn't help but think of the words of the hymn " Whiter Than Snow"...
" Lord Jesus I long to be perfectly whole; I want Thee forever to live in my soul.."
Somehow devotional thoughts always bring a hymn or song to mind.
Have a wonderful day!
