June 18, 2007

Good morning! What a nice cool morning this is, and after a night of storms too! The outside cat, Samantha, had her lunch money taken last night, so to speak. She is a small cat and the larger cat from across the street was beating her soundly. She ran home, but the other cat followed closely and finally a neighbor lady called to let me know that my cat might not survive this one. It seems that she no longer has a place outside in the world. That sounds so familiar does it not?
At times it seems like the world chases us back home to lick our wounds and find comfort in the Master. The world is bigger than we are and sometimes we may be soundly beaten down, by overwork, cares, trials, and possibly even physical wounds or bruises. We can always find comfort and healing in Christ. One day all tears will be dried and we can go out into the new world without fear.
All of nature groans to be released from the burden of sin, and last night it was not only groaning, but yowling as well. The conflict in this life will give way to the peace of Christ Jesus when he returns. As for this life, I may need to keep the little yowler in at night, although the firecracker season should help with that this week.

God loves you and so do I!
