Sooooo sorry to hear you’ve not felt well, today.

I’ve been mostly out, and I just saw your message. I’m saying a prayer for you, right now, ML...that you’ll keep getting better. And, for a restful night so you can wake up refreshed.

Good evening, Luv!

Ms. Charlie has been claimed by John-Man's girlfriend, Tiffany.

We have never had any problems finding homes for Clementine's babies. Larry and Moe are likewise already taken. As much as we enjoy the kittens Clem has given us, we're going to let her retire at this time. She's had a great, albeit short, run - now she will rest.

Hello back! I am also gone too much! Still love Amy’s Place though.

[TheConservativeParty]

Happy Birthday!

Hope it was a great day!

Mrs. MacNessa took this picture of the three of them yesterday:

Just too cute! Piper really did like the one of Ms. Charlie! She wrote the last post herself...and I posted it. LOL!

[luvie]

Well, she does have beautiful babies! :)

[ConorMacNessa]

That's precious! God Bless your little Piper!

New Start For A Broken Heart

May 21, 2015

He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted. —Isaiah 61:1

The Museum of Broken Relationships in Zagreb, Croatia, is filled with anonymously donated remnants of love gone wrong. There is an axe that a jilted lover used to destroy the furniture of an offending partner. Stuffed animals, love letters framed in broken glass, and wedding dresses all speak volumes of heartache. While some visitors to the museum leave in tears over their own loss, some couples depart with hugs and a promise not to fail each other.

The Old Testament prophet Isaiah wrote, “The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me, because the Lord has anointed Me to preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted” (Isa. 61:1). When Jesus read from Isaiah 61 at the synagogue in Nazareth, He said, “Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing” (Luke 4:21). Extending far beyond help for an emotional wound, Isaiah’s words speak of a changed heart and a renewed spirit that come by receiving God’s gift of “beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness” (Isa. 61:3).

All of us have experienced regret and broken promises in our lives. Whatever has happened, the Lord invites us to find healing, hope, and new life in Him.

Lord, You are the promise-keeping God who has said He will make all things new. Today we give You our ashes in exchange for Your beauty, our mourning for the joy of finding comfort in You. Thank You!

God can transform tragedies into triumphs.

INSIGHT: Today’s Bible reading is a prophetic text that points to the arrival of the Messiah. It is not surprising, therefore, that in the synagogue of Nazareth Jesus selected a portion of this passage to announce His arrival and mission (Isa. 61:1-2). Luke 4:18-19 records for us this significant announcement rooted in Isaiah’s ancient words. In the verbs used by Isaiah, we see the core of Christ’s work (preach, heal, proclaim), and in the nouns we find word-pictures of the needy people for whom He had come (poor, brokenhearted, captives, bound).

What a strange idea for a museum!

Amen to today’s ODB.
