God's Kingdom

The Lord is gracious and compassionate, slow to

anger and rich in love. The Lord is good to all;

He has compassion on all He has made. All you have

made will praise you, O Lord; your saints will extol

you. They will tell of the glory of your kingdom

and speak of your might, so all men may know

of your mighty acts and the glorious splendor of

your kingdom. Your kingdom is an everlasting

kingdom, and your dominion endures through all

generations

Psalms 145: 8-13a

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE

We want to wish all furr friends and their families

a Very Merry Christmas.

We want to include our Dad in our wishes too!!

Have a wonderful Happy Day.

Oh Little Town of Bethlehem

Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in

Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David,

because he belonged to the house and line of David.

He went there to register with Mary, who was

pledged to be married to him and was expecting

a child. While they were there, the time came for

the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her

firstborn, a son. She wrapped Him in cloths and

placed Him in a manger, because there was no

room for them in the inn.

NIV Luke 2: 4-7

Flawless Words of God

Every word of God is flawless, He is a shield to

those who take refuge in Him. Do not add to

His words. Or He will rebuke you and prove

you a liar.

NIV Proverbs 30: 5-6

A Note to All my Friend's

Hi, just opened my eyes to let you know that Mom

is sorry she hasn't been helping me post lately. I miss

visiting my friends a lot. She is helping a friend

of hers go to doctor and testing appointments. She is

suppose to have a knee replacement,

replacing an old knee replacement. It was suppose

to be on January 2nd but it was changed to Jan 13th.

Mom's friend has difficult remembering so Mom

also keeps track of her friends appoinments.

Mom says between her friend, herself and Dad's

doctor appointments can be a hassle, but so far none

of them has fallen on the same day. Most of Dad

and Mom's appointments at the end of the year are

yearly check ups. Mom was diagnosed to have a hip

replacement the first of March and decided to get a second

opinion which she finally did last month. She went for

a cortisone injection to see if that would help and so far it has.

Hopefully no surgery at least for now. Well, it's time to get

back to my nap. Take care everyone.

The Guardian of Our Souls

He never sinned, nor ever deceived anyone. He did not retaliate when He was insulted, nor threatened revenge when He suffered. He left His case in the hands of God, who always judges fairly. He personally carried our sins in His body on the cross so we can be dead to sin and live for what is right. By His wounds you are healed. Once you were like sheep who wandered away. But now you have turned to your Shepherd, the Guardian of your souls.

NLT 1st Peter 2: 22-25

Turkey Turkey

Wow, that turkey looks good. Had my own chair

at the dinner table this year. It sure was good,

Mom gave me some and so did daughter bean.

It was so mmmmmmmm!

Then they had the audacity to take that yummy

platter away from me. They said I was getting

to much. Never can get to much!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

I am thankful for the food that has been put on my table.

I am thankful for the sun and rain.

I am thankful for the trees and flowers.

I am thankful for the animals and birds.

I am thankful for my husband and children.

I am thankful for my friends far and wide.

I am thankful for the roof that is over my head.

But most of all I am thankful for my lord Jesus Christ

who died and was resurrected to give you and I eternal life.

Rejoicing in the Lord

May the glory of the Lord endure forever;

may the Lord rejoice in his works- He

who looks at the earth, and it trembles,

who touches the mountains, and they smoke.

I will sing to the Lord all my life; I will sing

praise to my God as long as I live. May my

meditation be pleasing to Him, as I rejoice

in the Lord.

NIV Psalms 104: 31-34

Moon Marks Off the Seasons

The moon marks off the seasons, and the sun knows

when to go down. You bring darkness, it becomes

night, and all the beasts of the forest prowl. The

lions roar for their prey and seek their food from

God. The sun rises, and they steal away; they return

and lie down in their dens. Then, man goes out to his

work, to his labor until evening.

NIV Psalms 104: 19-23

Veterans Day

Thank You All for

honoring our nation

by serving in the

Mountain Springs Make Rivers

Praise the Lord, O My soul:

You make springs pour water into the ravines,

so streams gush down from the mountains.

They provide water for all the animals, and

the wild donkeys quench their thirst. The birds

nest beside the streams and sing among the

branches of the trees. You send rain on the

mountains from your heavenly home, and

you fill the earth with the fruit of your

labor.

NLT Psalms 104: 10-13

FRANKENSTEIN

Casper checking out Frankenstein. Gosh Frankie, you don't look all that scary. Can't understand why you are waving that yellow light around for. Your red eyes do look a little weird though. I think I could get used to you being around.

Cleo doesn't know what to make

of Frankenstein either. At least

she isn't running away from him

like she does when her Dad steps

into the kitchen.

Praise with Songs

I will sing of your love and Justice,

Lord. I will praise you with songs.

I will be careful to live a blameless

life - when will you come to help

me? I will lead a life of integrity

in my home.

NLT Psalms 101: 1-2

Monday Nap in Mom's Lap

Fight the Good Fight of Faith

But you, O man of God, flee these things and pursue

righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, gentle-

ness. Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal

life, to which you were also called and have confessed

the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.

I urge you in the sight of God who gives life to all

things, and before Christ Jesus who witnessed the

good confession before Pontius Pilate, that you keep

this commandment without spot, blameless until our

Lord Jesus Christ's appearing which He will manifest

in His own time, He who is blessed and only Potentate

the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, who alone has

immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, whom

no man has seen or can see, to whom be honor and

everlasting power.

Amen

NKJV 1st Timothy 6: 11-16

Psalms, Hymns and Songs to God

Let the message about Christ, in all it's richness,

fill your lives. Teach and counsel each other with

all the wisdom He gives. Sing psalms and hymns

and spiritual songs to God with thankful hearts.

And whatever you do or say, do it as a represenative

of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to

God the Father.

NLT Colossians 3: 16-17

LIVESTRONG

Praying there will be a cure very very soon.

The Love of Christ

For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom

His whole family in heaven and on earth, derives it's

name. I pray that out of his glorious riches He may

strengthen you with power through His Spirit

in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in

your hearts through faith. And I pray that you

being rooted and established in love, may have

power, together with all the saints, to grasp how

wide and long and high and deep is the love of

Christ, and to know this love that surpasses

knowledge-that you may be filled to the measure

of all the fullnes of God. NIV Ephesians 3: 14-19

Concentrating Cleo

Cleo, what are you doing?? What are you so

interested in?

Gosh whatever it is, it sure does have your

attention. Cleo: It's this spider here in the doorway. It isn't moving, it just lays there. Casper whispering: Geesz, I sure hate to tell her it's dead.

Worship God

And they cried out in a loud voice: "Salvation

belongs to our God, who sits on the throne and

to the Lamb." All the angels were standing

around the throne and around the elders

and the four living creatures. They fell down

on their faces before the throne and worshiped

God, saying:

Amen!

Praise and glory

and wisdom and thanks and honor

and power and strength

be to our God for ever and ever.

Amen!

NIV Revelation 7: 10-12

God Alone Is Holy

Great and marvelous are Your works, Lord God

Almighty! Just and true are Your ways, O King

of Saints! Who shall not fear You, O Lord, and

Glorify Your Name? For You alone are holy.

For all nations shall come and worship You,

For Your judgemensts have been manifested.

Casper on the Beautiful Blanket

Mom joined in on the auction for Sammy,

Andy, Shelly and Mom Judi and made

a bid on this beautiful blanket made

by Peggy. She sure was surprised

when no one else put a bid on it and

Mom won it. When she received it in

the mail she was absolutely amazed how

big it was and a lot prettier than what

was shown in the picture. It feels so

nice and soft, and it feels so good to lay

on. Mom meets with a group at the

clubhouse Monday afternoons and

yesterday she took the blanket over

there so eveyone could see it. Some of

the women knit and crochet and they

were ooing and ahhing over it. Guess

they agreed how pretty it is.

Overcoming to Sit on the Throne

Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline.

So be earnest, and repent. Here I am!

I stand at the door and knock. If anyone

hears my voice and opens the door, I will

come in and eat with him, and he with me.

To him who overcomes, I will give the right

to sit with me on my throne, just as I

overcame and sat down with my Father

on his throne. He who has an ear, let him

hear what the Spirit says to the churches. NIV Revelation 3: 19-21

'Mo' Cats Day

We want to help celebrate Mo Cats Day

too.

Sorry we haven't been on line lately

posting or visiting but Mom's modem

went Ka-Pluey and died. I don't

think she wants to talk about the

mess it turned out to be. She was

suppose to get it on Monday but

since it was a holiday she thought

it would be here Tuesday. It didn't

show. The real problem was AT&T

forgot to put the space number of

our mobile home on the address.

Sooo.......how could UPS deliver it

in a park with 62 mobile homes. I

am sure the driver wouldn't want

to knock on all those doors. Oh well,

we have it now and it's up and

running.

No More Full River

Mom is very sad today. At midnight tonight

the gates to the diversion dam will be opened

for the last time ever and we will never see

the river like this anymore. Bureau of

Reclamation and a judge down in Fresno CA.

which is a couple hundreds of miles from

us, has said that the poor salmon has trouble

making it up river, so the river that Red Bluff

has knowned for the last 40 years will be no

more. The fishermen up here says they aren't

having trouble catching fish, the salmon are getting

up here just fine. Dad saw one caught right in front

of him when he was sitting on the deck. The river

has been so full of boats for the last week trying

to get their last ride in. Oh well, guess you can't fight

the government, at least not in this day and age.

There will still be about a half river left on the

far side bank. It is just not the same.

Two Awards

My friend Alyssa has honored me

with these two awards. Thank You

Alyssa. It was so very nice of you. I

really appreciate it.

Casper, Cleo and Mom

The Time Is Near

The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God

gave Him to show His servants what must

soon take place. He made it known by

sending His angel to His servant John, who

testifies to everything he saw-that is, the

word of God and the testimony of Jesus

Christ. Blessed is the one who reads the

words of this prophecy, and blessed are

those who hear it and take to heart what

is written in it, because the time is near

NIV Revelation 1: 1-3

These two flowers are on the same bush.

Cleo and Book

Cleo has been doing some heavy reading and

she fell asleep. Shhh, we don't want to wake

her. She needs a little rest before she

continues. It looks like she wants to

improve her brain. She needs that book.

Wonder if it will help her???

Jesus Christ

Grace and Peace to you from Him who is and who

was, and who is to come, and from the seven

spirits before His throne, and from Jesus Christ,

who is the faithful witness, the firstborn of the

dead, and ruler of the kings ot the earth. To

Him who loves us and has freed us from our sins

by His blood, and has made us to be a kingdom

and priests to serve His God and Father- to

Him be the Glory and Power for ever and

ever....................Amen

NIV Revelation 1: 4-6

A fish made the ripples in the river when it jumped.

Our New Makeover

We want to Thank Ann, Maggy,

and Zoey for our new make over

on our blog. Mom loves the new

header picture. At least Ann

portrayed my usual position,

napping. Thank you so very

much Zoolatry!!!

The Squirrel

Hi, Mom woke me up so she could take this

picture. She kept saying "open your eyes

Cleo." Oh well, I wasn't in a deep sleep any

way. Mom was reading outside this morning and

saw this squirrel climbing the pine tree out in the

back. She turned around and saw Spot our

next door kitty laying on the ground eyeing

it. The squirrel got to the edge of a branch

and fell off but quickly scampered up the

palm tree with Spot not far behind. Mom

went over and spoke to Spot as he was

again laying on the ground and told him to

please leave the squirrel alone. After awhile

he walked away in disgust. In the meantime

Mom got the trusty old camera out and took

a few pictures of the squirrel. Mom said now

she knows why there aren't many squirrels

around, duh, to many cats.

She was glad she got this picture.

Trust the Lord

But the Lord watches over those who fear him,

those who rely on His unfailing love. He rescues

them from death, and keeps them alive in times

of famine.

NLT Psalms 33: 18 & 19
