Sorry you had that allergic reaction. Hope you figure it out and stay away from whatever it was. Enjoy the day!

I’m much better today.

That’s how I know it wasn’t Food Poisoning, but just allergy.

Maybe a spice in the rib sauce?

No Longer Yourself

Bible in a Year:

I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

Galatians 2:20

In the summer of 1859, Monsieur Charles Blondin became the first person to cross Niagara Falls on a tightrope—something he would go on to do hundreds of times. Once he did it with his manager Harry Colcord on his back. Blondin gave Colcord these instructions: “Look up, Harry . . . you are no longer Colcord, you are Blondin. . . . If I sway, sway with me. Do not attempt to do any balancing yourself. If you do, we will both go to our death.”

Paul, in essence, said to the Galatian believers: You can’t walk the line of living a life that is pleasing to God apart from faith in Christ. But here’s the good news—you don’t have to! No amount of attempting to earn our way to God will ever cut it. So are we passive in our salvation? No! Our invitation is to cling to Christ. Clinging to Jesus means putting to death an old, independent way of living; it’s as if we ourselves have died. Yet, we go on living. But “the life [we] now live in the body, [we] live by faith in the Son of God, who loved [us] and gave himself for [us]” (Galatians 2:20).

Where are we trying to walk the tightrope today? God hasn’t called us to walk out on the rope to Him; He’s called us to cling to Him and walk this life with Him.

Reflect & Pray

How can you stop trying to please God on your own? Where do you need to cling to Jesus today, trusting His righteousness?

Dear Jesus, thank You for doing for me what I could never do for myself. I turn away from trying to please You on my own. I’m so glad I don’t need to earn Your love.

Happy Caturday-Dogurday!

Moose got to go on a long ride today, he loves rides in the car/truck.

He is visiting my mother-in-law, with my husband (the driver), and they are having lunch together.

I’m taking lunch to my parents in about an hour. Made chicken vegetable soup last night and wanted to share it with them. That was a lot of soup, and really good. So I hope to get a few “oh that’s good!” comments. 🤓

We had chickens and kitties when I was a kid, but never saw them cuddle up like that. 🙃 Looks like the chicken is taking over for Momma Cat to keep them warm.

Sunny and near freezing here. Much different than a week ago and 2 weeks ago when it was dangerous to take a walk.

It’s nice to have a babysitter, even if you’re a kitteh! :)

Glad the sun is out for you. Maybe it’ll melt some of that snow. Hope you and Moose get a nice walk today!

LOL pitbull shirt. Moose is probably half pitbull. He resembles that shirt. He will sit for a treat, if I remember to ask. My fault for not training him. He’s so easy to have around. We didn’t teach him any tricks. He walks nicely on the leash though. Best trick: long naps. 😊

Since penny was over six when I got her, she was pretty much set in her ways.

But they are mostly NICE ways, so we are blessed.

Ah...too bad. Penny gets along great with humans, but not with others of her own species.
