Ooooo, what a pretty boy!
Yep, he has a home elsewhere but typical cat - - he’s a mooch. LOL
Isn’t he gorgeous? And he seems to be pretty sociable, too. He doesn’t try to attack any of my babies. He has some issues around his ears, and I hope whoever owns him is dealing with it. Otherwise, if I could just pet him, I’d rub some antibiotic cream on the sore spots.
Help keep your mama warm on these cold, snowy days!
Oh no, not snow. It is quite cold here, 13 last night and 20s today and windy.
Sun was out today.
😊
Well, the snow didn’t last long. I hope tomorrow is a clear day.
He’s a fine feller. Nice that he isn’t antagonistic towards the other cats. Just likes to hang out a little, get some attention, and enjoys an extra meal. LOL
Probably has ear mites and the sores are from scratching. Your antibiotic cream might help the sore spots from festering but it won’t get rid of the problem - the ear mites. Save the cream for Peaches when he gets another sore.

Bible in a Year :
Before the mountains were born . . . from everlasting to everlasting you are God.
In Psalm 90, Moses said, “Before the mountains were born or you brought forth the whole world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God” (v. 2). Acknowledging God’s unlimited power, control, and authority over all creation, Moses declared that time cannot constrain God (vv. 3–6).
As we seek to know more about God and the wonderful world He made, we’ll discover how He continues perfectly managing time and all He created. God can be trusted with every unknown and newly discovered thing in our lives too. All creation remains secure in God’s loving hands. .
Reflect & Pray
How does knowing God is in control of time and all creation help you trust Him when facing the unknown? How can you honor God with the time He’s entrusted to you today?
Unchanging Creator, thank You for securing every second of my life in Your trustworthy hands.
Bible in a Year :
Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
My coworker’s practice of praying during tough times and interactions is something I’ve adopted. It’s also a biblical practice found in 1 Thessalonians when Paul reminds the believers in Jesus to “pray continually . . . give thanks in all circumstances” (5:17–18). No matter what we face, prayer is always the best practice. It keeps us connected with God and invites His Spirit to direct us (Galatians 5:16) rather than having us rely on our human inclinations. This helps us “live in peace with each other” (1 Thessalonians 5:13) even when we face conflicts.
As God helps us, we can rejoice in Him, pray about everything, and give thanks often. And those things will help us live in even greater harmony with our brothers and sisters in Jesus. .
Reflect & Pray
How does knowing God is in control of time and all creation help you trust Him when facing the unknown? How can you honor God with the time He’s entrusted to you today?
Unchanging Creator, thank You for securing every second of my life in Your trustworthy hands.

LOL! Believe it or not, I almost chose that one, Sis! Great minds think alike!
If it’s still snowing, it IS mad! LOL!
Naw..the snow has stopped but is now dirty icy patches.
Ugh. The dirty patches on the sides of the roads are always the downside of snow. That’s when it’s time for it to just be gone!
Bible in a Year :
How long, Lord? Will you forget me forever?
The United Kingdom brims with history. Everywhere you go, you see plaques honoring historic figures or commemorating sites where important events occurred. But one such sign exemplifies the droll British sense of humor. On a weathered plaque outside a bed and breakfast in Sandwich, England, a message reads, “On this site, Sept. 5, 1782, nothing happened.”
Sometimes it seems to us that nothing is happening regarding our prayers. We pray and pray, bringing our petitions to our Father with expectation that He’ll respond—right now. The psalmist David expressed such frustration when he prayed, “How long, Lord? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?” (Psalm 13:1). We can easily echo those same thoughts: How long, Lord, before you respond?
However, our God is not only perfect in His wisdom but also in His timing. David was able to say, “I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation” (v. 5). Ecclesiastes 3:11 reminds us, “[God] has made everything beautiful in its time.” The word beautiful means “appropriate” or “a source of delight.” God may not always respond to our prayers when we’d like Him to, but He’s always working out His wise purposes. We can take heart that when He does answer, it will be right and good and beautiful. .
Reflect & Pray
When have you prayed for something and felt that perhaps God was ignoring your requests? What lesson might you have learned in that time of waiting?
Loving God, please help me to learn a patience in prayer borne of trust in You.
