Indeed!..I have never had an outdoor kitty that hunted birds..to my knowledge..I have indoor cats now.

I did see a neighberhood cat...bird in mouth ..trot across my yard..
If I see one lurking and stalking..I go out and shoo them off.
I love cats AND birds.

Welcome To Sunday At Amy's Place

If God sees the sparrow’s fall,
Paints the lilies short and tall,
Gives the skies their azure hue,
Will He not then care for you?

From Duty To Delight
September 16, 2012

Because of my wife’s busy schedule, sometimes she can commit only a limited amount of time every week to each of our grandchildren. When possible, however, she will rearrange her schedule to spend more time with them—not out of duty, but because she loves them. When I see her with them, I understand what the word delight means.

In Psalm 119, David tells of his “delight” in God’s Word. He uses the word delight eight times (vv.16,24, 35,47,70,77,92,174). He says: “I will delight myself in Your statutes; I will not forget Your Word. . . . I will delight myself in Your commandments, which I love” (vv.16,47). The psalmist’s words, “I will delight,” indicate that it is a deliberate act of his will. However, it is not a burden for him to delight in God’s Word because he loves it. David’s close relationship with God created in him a desire to know what his Beloved had to say.

In the same way, for us to move from duty to delight in God’s Word, we need to strengthen our relationship with Him. When we remember how much He loves and cherishes us, we will respond with love and we will delight to spend time with Him. “Oh, how I love Your law! It is my meditation all the day” (v.97).

Then let me love my Bible more
And take a fresh delight
By day to read these wonders o’er
And meditate by night. —Watts

Whether morning, noon, or night, make God’s Word your delight.

Read: Psalm 119:41-48

I will delight myself in Your commandments, which I love. —Psalm 119:47

Bible in a Year:
Ezekiel 40-42

Good Sunday Morning,

"Then let me love my Bible more
And take a fresh delight
By day to read these wonders o’er
And meditate by night. —Watts"

Thank you for this wonderful devotion, Rus.
I wish you a blessed Lord's Day.
