In Philippians 4:13 which my bible flipped open to this morning when I was reading it says “I do all things through Christ which Strengthens me.”
It doesn’t say some things, it says ALL things and I would be wise to remember this verse when the day tends to overwhelm me. I am weak but He is strong and I need to remember to draw on that strength daily and not give way to despair.
I find myself so angry these days. Not sure what I am angry about- haven’t figured that out yet, but the anger vanishes the minute a cat jumps on my lap or head bumps me in passing.
This morning, I was presented with a kitten- he is probably 3 months old and the vet said he was born without a rear leg. No massive injury occurred, just some genetic mistake or inbreeding that when this kitten was born, it didn’t have a leg.
He is skinny, scared and flea-ridden. He is so anemic his rectum is as white as if someone poured bleach on it! I don’t know if he is going to make it, nor does the vet. All we can do is try.
Speaking of feeling anger- where is a cat when you need one- 🙂
Purrrrrrsss for that little tripod kitteh.
Sending headbonks from all of us to you, Mary Anne. We’re still purrrraying for you and Mike.
I feel the same way some times. Life can be overwhelming, but God is kind to us. Cats and dogs and all the other animals we love are in a way of being His small miracles.
You’re wrong! You don’t need a cat to deal with your anger – you just got one that should bring you joy!! His problem was not caused by cruelty and now he has you in his corner. I’d say that was pretty joyful –
