A Glimpse of God’s Kingdom?

This is just astounding. Cat, kitten, deer–and even a dog, for a moment, who pays his respects  and then moves on. Who would ever expect to see a deer and a cat licking each other?

I think this is a sign of what God has in store for us. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all His holy mountain.

Just Missed!

Our month of June fell just 53 hits short of 6,000. Oh, well. So we start a new one.

The temptation for me is to get hung up on the numbers. I pray that doesn’t happen.

In our own small way, using the tools that He has given us, we are trying to advance God’s Kingdom. I say “we” because I mean “we”–all of us together. There wouldn’t be much here without your readership, and your comments.

And so I say “Thank you” to all of you who take part in this small enterprise.

The cat video comes later.

 

Back From the Nursing Home

The ambulance finally appeared, and my aunt was transported to the nursing home and installed in a semi-private room where the other patient had a great big TV set which was playing Spanish soap operas.

We’re all upset, we prayed it wouldn’t come to this: but it has, and there was nothing we could do avert it. Poor Aunt Joan. For most of her life–she never married–she and her sisters traveled to almost every country on the planet, back in the 1950s and 60s when people didn’t just hop on a jet plane and go wherever they pleased. You had to have a lot of get-up-and-go, to be a world traveler back then.

There is something wrong with the way our civilization today handles the closing chapter of a life.

Well, there’s nothing for it but to trust in God, who tells us nothing  but what is altogether true, and who will keep His promises. Whatever may afflict us now, it’s temporary. When we wake in God’s Kingdom, in His house of many mansions, we’ll be hard-put to remember what was hurting us.

But for the time being, it’s a rough ride.
