Prayers up for Silky!

And , of course, prayers continue for Amy.

(((HUGS)))

Is Amy home? or still convalescing?

Brilliant day here. Kiki (neighbors dog) got in the yard for a visit.

Amen. :-)

Thank you, (((ML)))

We will be here for you and Silky.
Caturday not too Happy about this.
...but happy Amy is improving. =^..^=

Thank you, (((LUV)))

Waiting for news from the vet.

I know it makes you a wreck.

Our Peaches just had 3 good sized growths removed about [————] this long...two on his back and one on his side. He has a lot of stitches and a shaved patch that I’m sure is embarrassing to him. :) We haven’t heard yet what they were. He is taking it well, except I can’t FORCE him to ingest the liquid antibiotic they gave us.

We worry about our furballs!

There is a long term 10 to 14 day antibiotic shot they can give now . That is what they gave Silky. My hand tremor makes giving meds REALLY impossible.

Yes we are a wreck when our pets are ailing.
Prayers for good news on Peaches tests.

HAPPY CATUR/DOGURDAY
TO AMY’S PLACE!

Clan MacNessa Wishes A
Happy Catur/Dogurday To All!!!

Thanks, Megs. He seems to be sensitive to my touch today. I hope he’s still healing. It looks like he is.

Thanks for the news about Amy, bless her heart.

I hope your kitty kat Silky feels better soon too.

Had a skunking incident last night. The dog snuck out of the barn when I was taking care of the horses, and when he returned he was all stinky. He got an outside bath and then an inside bath. He is not too smelly anymore. I think the skunk had bad aim and only got the dog on the face. Oh brother, that was no fun to deal with at 10pm.

I still love him, even though he’s a little stinker.

Silky is home and her blood and weight will be tested again Wednesday. No news on source of infection.
Thank you so much for your good wishes. She was glad to see me!

(((HUGS)))

Well, I’ll keep praying for Silky, and for you, too!

~Welcome To Sunday At Amy's Place~

I don’t know about tomorrow,
Nor what coming days will bring;
But I know my Lord is with me,
And His praise my heart will sing.

~I Wish You A Blessed Lord's Day~I have an aching back so may stay off the computer today.

Thank you, dear ML.

No doubt you were glad to see her, too! Glad she’s back home with her family!

Spiritual Checkup

Oct 11, 2015

Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. Mark 12:30

To detect health problems before they become serious, doctors recommend a routine physical exam. We can do the same for our spiritual health by asking a few questions rooted in the great commandment (Mark 12:30) Jesus referred to.

Do I love God with all my heart because He first loved me? Which is stronger, my desire for earthly gain or the treasures that are mine in Christ? (Col. 3:1). He desires that His peace rule our hearts.

Do I love God with all my soul? Do I listen to God telling me who I am? Am I moving away from self-centered desires? (v. 5). Am I becoming more compassionate, kind, humble, gentle, and patient? (v. 12).

Do I love God with all my mind? Do I focus on my relationship with His Son or do I let my mind wander wherever it wants to go? (v. 2). Do my thoughts lead to problems or solutions? To unity or division? Forgiveness or revenge? (v. 13).

Do I love God with all my strength? Am I willing to be seen as weak so that God can show His strength on my behalf? (v. 17). Am I relying on His grace to be strong in His Spirit?

As we let “the message of Christ dwell among [us] richly . . . with all wisdom” (v. 16), He will equip us to build each other up as we become spiritually fit and useful to Him.

Heavenly Father, when I rely on anything other than love in my efforts to initiate change in people, I am neglecting to love You with all my heart, soul, mind, and strength. I choose today to exchange my strength for Yours.

To be spiritually fit, feed on God’s Word and exercise your faith.

Insight:

We may find it difficult at times to motivate ourselves in Christian living and service to God and others. However, Paul reminds the church in Colossae that the reason we are to focus on God and serve Him well is that we have been “raised with Christ” (3:1). Because of what Jesus accomplished for us, we are to serve Him faithfully. J.R. Hudberg
