I don't have as many dog stories but I do tons of cat stories. I've been blessed with some interesting cats who do make sure I know when they need or want something. Yeats was notorious for when I was on the computer, and he wanted attention he would lay right across the keyboard. I could move him but he would come right back. Once I snuggled with him then he would lie down beside me. Macavity when he wants to eat, taps your leg repeatedly. And when I ask what do you want he goes to his food dish. If I don't get up immediately, he will come back and tap my leg repeatedly.

I agree animals are far more intelligent than we realize.

I tend to overthink and second-guess. I try to let go. Moving on from past mistakes (whether or not they were truly mistakes) is key for me to meet new challenges and make new mistakes. *sigh*

I've lived with people who had needs. Sometimes it worked out; sometimes life intervened.

My favorite OT book is Ruth. I truly believe that kindness matters.

Blessed to keep the commandments

Prompt
What are some of the ways keeping the 10 commandments brings blessings into people’s lives?

I have been reading through the first 5 books of the old testament. The thing that stands out to me the most is the phrase after the Israelites are instructed to keep God's commandments. It is often repeated, “that it may be well with there and they children after thee” It is stated the commandments were given to Isreal for their own good. They were given as a witness to other nations that God is the one true God, that the other nations may fear them because there is no God like theirs. God wrote them by his own hand in stone so that the world could know it is possible to have a relationship with God and live. And notice these are the only commands literally written in stone and they still are on stone monuments even to this day. God rescued them from Egypt, led them through the wilderness, had them conquer and possess a land of giants for their inheritance because he loved them. God desires a personal intimate relationship with us. Look at the lengths he will go to do so. He is so good. He made a covenant with is real based on these 10 commandments. Compare all he promised to the 10 commandments that he demanded to be obeyed. Is there really a comparison? You follow these 10 rules, and I with bless you so much you will hardly know what to do with it all. However, you disobey and I will be your enemy. It was that simple.

5 things to not live without

PROMPT November 1st

We all have possessions of some type. Tell us five possessions you can’t live without, and why they are on this list.

I would need a bag to carry those 5 things. I would want my Bible. Then I would want a change of clothes and socks. I would want a good pair of walking shoes. I need my hair brush or I would have to shave my head. We all need food and water.

I think that is the bare minimum I could get by on. I can live without electronics such as my cell phone and tablet, but I wouldn't like it. I looked for the bear necessities.🐻

In reality, do we need all of our physical stuff? It's just stuff. It is temporary. It is replaceable. This blog prompt makes you think about what is truly important in life. To me, my relationship with God and with others is what is most important. Money can not truly buy the really important things in life.

The important things in life are matters of the heart and soul. Virtue. Love. Spiritual matters. Relationships. Reputation. Goodness. God's laws/Word. These kinds of things are what is most important in life.
