Our Heavenly Dwelling

Now we know that if the earthly tent we live in is

destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal

house in heaven, not built by human hands. Mean-

while we groan, longing to be clothed with our

heavenly dwelling, because when we are clothed,

we will not be found naked. For while we are in

this tent, we groan and are burdened, because

we do not wish to be unclothed but to be clothed

with our heavenly dwelling, so that what is mortal

may be swallowed up by life. Now it is God who

has made us for this very purpose and has given

us the Spirit as a deposit guaranteeing what is to

come.

NIV 2nd Corinthians 5: 1-5

Amen

Good News

It's about time I get my blog site back. Mom has

been too busy with the geese that she wouldn't

let me post my good news. Mom took me to

the Vet a few weeks ago and I got a blood test

and I passed with flying colors. Mom and

Vet Sandy were so elated. Don't know why,

I Am Captain Casper.

Ahh yes, my sweet Baby Boy

The Lesser Light

And God said, "Let there be lights in the

expanse of the sky to separate the day

from the night, and let them serve as

signs to mark seasons and days and years,

and let them be lights in the expanse

of the sky to give light on the earth.

And it was so. God made two great lights

the greater light to govern the day and

the lesser light to govern the night. He

also made the stars.

NIV Genesis 1: 14-16

Baby Geese and Ducks

Mom took this picture right after the babies

hatched. There is still another goose sitting

on a nest a little farther down river. Still

don't know if they hatched or not.

These are Merganser ducks. Mom sunning on

a log with her babies. She has more babies

probably playing not far from Mom. Last seen

all thirteen babies were with her.

Day before yesterday Mom saw another goose

that was all bloody. Mom has been keeping an

eye on it. This morning it passed right by our

mobile and it seems like it's the wing that has been

hurt. She got her binoculers and looked really

close and she can't see a wound under the wing. The geese could have gotten in a fight with another

goose and it got it's wing hurt. That can happen.

The goose is still roaming in the pack and is going

in and out the water. Goose Victory didn't go in

the water any more. Mom called the wild life

lady and Victory is still alive and seems to be

improving. She told Mom that she had to

find somewhere else for it to recuperate for now. Mom can't believe all this is happening. Such

a very hurtful spring for the geese and a

loved Muscovy duck.

Jesus Christ

But He was pierced for our transgressions, He

was crushed for our iniquities, the punishment

that brought us peace was upon Him, and by His

wounds we are healed. We all, like sheep, have

gone astray, each of us has turned to his own

way, and the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity

of us all.

NIV Isaiah 53: 5-6

Thoughtful Thursday

Hooray, Hooray, Hooray

Hooray, Hooray, Hooray, this baby made it. He

or she is alive and doing well. Linda (neighbor) called

the Wildlife lady (Karen)and told her she had some food for

her wildlife refuge and Karen told Linda the Goose

has made it so far but still has a way to go.

It is eating on it's own and walking around. Linda

called Mom and told her and Mom got so excited. Linda

said we have to name the goose. Mom said the name is

Victory. Prayers have been answered. But need more

for a complete recovery. Mom wants to thank you

all so very much for your concern over this

goose and Red Facey. She is trying to visit everyone

personally to thank you for your sympathies for

Red Facey like she did for Patches. She still has

a ways to go since she hasn't been on the computer

to much lately. Oh by the way Karen said she

wrote a letter to the editor also,

sure hope it's printed.

Way to Go Victory!!

Teach Me Lord

Teach me, O Lord, to follow your decrees; then

I will keep them to the end. Give me understanding,

and I will keep your law and obey it with all my

heart. Direct me in the path of your commands,

for there I find delight. Turn my heart toward

your statutes and not toward selfish gain. Turn

my eyes away from worthless things; preserve

my life according to your word.

NIV Psalms 119: 33-37

Another Attack

We had another attack over this last weekend

This time on a goose, one of the babies from

last year. No one knows how this one was

attacked, as no one saw it happen.

Don't know if this is the same goose from up

above or not. But you can see the wing is held

out a little and it has a nasty wound under it. Mom

called the Tehama county wildlife rescue once

again and she was surprised that they came

out on Sunday and looked at the goose. The

lady put the goose in a carrier to take it back

with her. Our neighbor followed her back to the

refuge to help her with the goose, she cleaned

it while the refuge lady held it. The neighbor told

Mom after she got home that the goose had a

good sized hole on the side with part of it's liver

sticking through and they don't think it's going

to live. Mom prays that this will be the last

attack.
