She is lucky that a coyote didn’t have her for breakfast.

I'm So Thankful that didn't Happen! There is Abundant Wildlife where I Live, and we Hear the Coyotes Howling all throughout the Cooler Weather.
I See Skunks, Possums, Raccoons, and Dogs Walking by the House Regularly, and Wild Hogs in the Winter.
I would be Afraid for a Tiny Kitten to be Outside at Night Here.

Healthy Ingredients

October 26, 2013

My wife, Martie, is a careful shopper when it comes to buying healthy and nutritious food. No matter how attractive the packaging looks, she checks the list of ingredients on the back of the box. Lots of difficult-to-pronounce words usually announce the presence of preservatives that work against good nutrition. She always puts those items back on the shelf and continues to look for labels with lists of natural food products that contribute to good health.

I’ve often thought that her shopping habits are a lot like what God is looking for in our lives: It’s what’s on the inside that counts, regardless of how attractive the outside might be. It’s no wonder that the wisdom-teller of Proverbs warns us to guard what goes into our hearts, “for out of it spring the issues of life” (Prov. 4:23). Wearing the right fashions and keeping ourselves looking young are of little importance if our hearts harbor greed, hatred, grumpiness, self-pity, and other counter-productive contents.

So, ask yourself: When others get past the packaging of my life, do they experience a heart full of healthy, Christ-honoring ingredients? By putting in grace, kindness, patience, and compassion, we’ll reflect the wonderful nature of Christ.

Lord, teach me to value my heart more than the
externals. Grant me the wisdom to cultivate internal
ingredients that will make my heart a wellspring of
life to those whom I come in contact with today.

The contents in your heart are more important than the outer packaging.

Read: Proverbs 4:14-27

Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life. —Proverbs 4:23

Bible in a Year:
Jeremiah 9-11; 1 Timothy 6

My pleasure and Thank you!

Kittens! Kittens!

Kittens kittens everywhere
Kittens chewing on my hair
Kittens climbing up my jeans
Kittens hanging from the screens
There's a kitten on each shoulder
Will they do this when they're older?

Kittens fighting on the chairs
Kittens tumbling down the stairs
There's a kitten on my head
There's a kitten in the bread!
There's a kitten in my shoe
I don't believe we just have two!

Happy Katurday/Kidsday, y'all! :)
GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS!

[pollywog]

okay all you graphic guru’s! HOW do I edit my photos on a post, or is that not a option?
I tried to send a Caturday graphic and sent it from the wrong place.

[luvie]

There is no editing once it’s posted. You can ask the mods to
pull it so you can re-post, though. :)

[pollywog]

ah ha!!! Well I tried to be creative like the rest of you all, and once again messed up a post. I’ll ask Amy to rescue me when she has finished all her chores! LOL....Thanks LUV!

[luvie]

I loved your kittie with jammies on! :)

[MEG33]

Happy Caturday Everyone..This Fits Me Today..LOL
Love That Poem!
Two kittens can seem like 10 at times..Cute Opening, Amy.

[pollywog]

...She is sweet but the graphic is not close up like it should be and I posted it from the wrong website....oh well.
I just wish I knew all the in’s and out’s of the HTML guides.
Pulled up a old thread and reading it now.

[JustAmy]

Hey ... which post did you mess up? Your cute post of the kitty in PJ's looks great to me. :)

If you want you can add a black border by adding (after the size code) space border 2, 5 or However you want the border to be.

IE:
< img src=http://images26.fotki.com/v941/photos/1/107747/1036073/AMY_kittensboot-vi.jpg width=460 border=4 >

Remove the blanks and try it.

Happy Caturday!

I spent the morning doing yard sales and made an amazing haul of unique collectables.

I spent the whole day photographing and listing stuff.

I have GOT to get on that Bike of mine today, though. It is GORGEOUS out.
