My Prayers for the Northeast!

 

May the Lord hold in His arms every one in the northeast who have been in the path of Hurricane Sandy.

 

I pray the country comes together to assist the states that need restoring of the necessities for life and spirit.

I remember all of the flooding, downed power lines, debris that had been blown all over when I lived in the Florida Keys. We went through so many hurricanes there! What was so unusual, was when the eye of the hurricane came over us. It went from a deafening wind to complete silence. The silence was almost as deafening as what we had been hearing for 6-8 hours! After living where I am now for 29 years, I had almost forgotten the fear until it occurred here when three in a row happened a few years back. I'm sure many in the northeast had not experienced this before! I know it had to be really fearful for them! May the LORD reveal His purpose in this to those who went through it.

Psalm 119:67,75 speaks of discipline, "Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now I keep Your WORD...I know, O LORD, that Your judgments are right, and that in faithfulness You have afflicted me."
*
People have one of two routes to go when affliction occurs: they turn to GOD or they turn away from GOD. I pray many, if not all, will turn to Almighty GOD which will bring their renewal even better than it was before. The LORD was surely our anchor that held us to the Solid Rock (Jesus!)


Back to Normal

Back in the swing of things!

 

I'm glad they don't swing on the blinds, ha! Katy decided to follow Cody's lead. They have healed well from their operations and are back to being their playful 7 month old selves, lol!

The Healing of Youth

 

Getting Over the Surgery!

 

After Monday's surgery, Katy was wanting to play, but realized she would tire soon and napped on top of her favorite chair!

 

Cody also realized he wasn't quite up to playing as much! This is Xena's bed! I had never seen Cody rest on it before!

Xena didn't mind sharing it with him!

I Can't Help It

 

 

Rip, Romp, Chew, and Lick!

 

Cody decided to surprise "attack" Katy when she was sleeping!

Realizing she didn't want to play "fight" He began to caress her back to sleep.



However, you know ladies can change their minds! Katy now catches Cody while he was sleeping!

Katy chooses to sleep on her window seat. It's pretty hard to be caught off guard here!

Cody would rather wait until later when I remove the window seat and close the blinds, ha!

No matter what, they get along so well with all of their joyful play! 

Best Fragrance in the Night

NIGHT JASMINE

The fragrance is so strong and concentrated, you can't breathe it in too long without getting a headache! It's sweet smelling perfume permeates the night and drifts on the cool dewy air.

*

The moths are all about it in the dark, but they quickly disappear when light appears.

*

The blossoms don't last but a night or two, but the fragrance continues to linger in the foyer. even entering the house when the door is opened.
