FROM TIGGER TO MOM

Mom misses me again today.
I heard her cry a few days ago from far away.
She thinks that there's a reason or rhyme.
Though put very simply, it was my time.

I wish it was longer, her love was the best.
Even if Phoebe, Tom and I sometimes put her to the test.
There was always time to savor her love.
From an interrupted nap and a lift from above.

To nuzzle Mom's smooth cheek and chin.
Away from the big room's loud noisy din.
Feeling soft words and fingers deep in my fur.
Mom misses me as much as I miss her.

On our hearts it is so deeply written.
To share her love Mom needs a very special kitten.
Neither to big nor too small. With eyes green and bright.
One at first sight, she'll be instantly smitten.

I'm Only a Cat

I'm only a cat,
and I stay in my place...
Up there on your chair,
on your bed or your face!

I'm only a cat,
and I don't finick much...
I'm happy with cream
and anchovies and such!

I'm only a cat,
and we'll get along fine...
As long as you know
I'm not yours... you're all mine!

Is Fear Healthy?

Read:
2 Chronicles 17:3-10

The fear of the Lord is the instruction of wisdom. -Proverbs 15:33

Bible In One Year: Joshua 22-24

During a severe thunderstorm, a mother tucked her child into bed and turned off the light. Frightened by the tempest, he asked, "Mommy, will you sleep with me?" Hugging him, she replied, "I can't, dear. I have to sleep with Daddy." Stepping out of the room, she heard, "That big sissy!"

Fear is real. But it's not always negative. In 2 Chronicles 17:3-10, we read about a healthy, positive fear that prevented neighboring countries from going to war against Judah. What had caused this fear? We are told that "the fear of the Lord fell on all the kingdoms of the lands that were around Judah, so that they did not make war against Jehoshaphat" (v.10).

A respectful fear of the Lord was also what King Jehoshaphat desired for his own people. So he made it a priority that they be taught God's Word. He knew that if the people were in awe of the Almighty, they would humble themselves and obey Him. Doing what was right would bring prosperity to Judah and respect from neighboring countries.

Proverbs 15:33 declares, "The fear of the Lord is the instruction of wisdom." Those who fear Him act with wisdom; they walk faithfully before Him as they obey His commands. -Albert Lee

God dwells in light and holiness,
In splendor and in might;
And godly fear of His great power
Can help us do what's right. -D. De Haan

The right kind of fear will keep us from doing wrong.
