They are WONDERFUL dogs. I don’t dare go to the Humane Society Shelter - because I will bring home toooooo many.

The last time I was there, it was to bring towels, blankets and toys to the Shelter. All the dogs were barking their heads off - and jumping up and down, being sweetly obnoxious and wanting so badly to be adopted..........

Then I looked at the ONE dog that was just sitting there - it was an Aussie...........and he was looking at me straight in the eye. He had one blue eye - one brown eye. His tail was slowly wagging, and he didn’t make a sound or move. It was like he “KNEW” he would have a good home with me. He never took his eyes off me.

My eyes filled up, and as I walked away, I let it all out. I have not been back to the Shelter since. I wish I could have taken that beautiful dog home.

I understand that. They put dogs and cats pictures in our newspaper all the time and it breaks my heart to look at them. I wish I could have many - but I just can’t.

Oh, Lori, I am so sorry. You and your hubby were there for her (and so was Chachi and Sissy!) Please know that you have my sincere condolences, and please know, that I believe that she is no longer in pain, and resting in the Everlasting Arms. God Bless you both!

Briers And Buttercups
June 23, 2010

The buttercups in our backyard were unusually bright and beautiful due to the generous amount of spring rain God sent our way. I wanted to take some pictures of them before they faded, but I had trouble getting close enough because they were growing in a very soggy wetland. One sunny afternoon, I pulled on a pair of boots and trudged through briers and brambles toward buttercup bog. Before I got any pictures, I got muddy feet, multiple scratches, and numerous bug bites. But seeing the buttercups made my temporary discomfort worthwhile.

Much of life is about “getting through” the trials and troubles that are inevitable in our sinful world. One of these trials is persecution. The disciples certainly found this to be true. They knew the good things that Jesus has ready for those who follow Him, but they met harsh resistance when they tried to tell others (Acts 14:5).

Those of us who have chosen God’s way, and who know from experience that it’s “a more excellent way” (1 Cor. 12:31), will persevere even when we have to go through danger and difficulty. By doing so, we show others a beautiful picture of God’s peace, mercy, and forgiveness. The joy that awaits will make our temporary discomfort worthwhile.

As sure as night, life’s troubles come,
As sure as day, they’re past;
But surer still that endless joy
When heaven we reach at last. —D. De Haan

Earth—the land of trials; heaven—the land of joys.

Read: Acts 14:1-7,19-22

We must through many tribulations enter the kingdom of God. —Acts 14:22
Bible in a year:
Esther 9-10; Acts 7:1-21

As well as can be expected having PT twice a week for my legs and feet.

Had a nice 1 day visit from my son, dil, and grandson, they came in Monday afternoon, left Tuesday afternoon.

Have to go to the dentist though, my crown fell off (third time) eating supper last night thankfully I didn’t swallow it, and my dentist is away on Army Reserve training this week.

Matins

No matter how early,
The breakfast is brought,
A mid-morning snack,
Is immediately sought,

The early bird getting,
The worm is okay,
But mom’s still run ragged,
Fetching snack food all day.

This difficult task,
It should soon be revealed,
Would make any mom vote,
The dinner bell be repealed.
