MAYBE I LIKE MY NEW SISTER, SHE HAS A BALL

when Taffy came to live us, Spanky hated her he was very jealous. I bought a beach ball for him.....but she wanted to play with it, They both ran it around the back yard playing ball for an hour, now he's coming around, he's still jealous, wants her food, drinks her water bowl dry when he has his own, but I think they may become good friends. Patience worked.

MY RED BIRD FRIEND

Here is my little red bird 2009 picture, I have his picture from 2008 also, He comes everyday year round and honestly he acts tame, He brings his lady with him but she flys away from the kitchen window when I come to the window. This winter a placed a live rose in the window for him to see just to remind him Summer is coming. I bet I have around 20 Red Birds in my yard, the feed in the feeder is thistle, I'll post a finch next, at feeding time the entire feeder is full of finches, the Red Birds run them away and I have 2 Dove's that come when all the other Birds are done eating or they eat off the ground, The Dove's seem to let the other birds eat first. God has created the most amazing creatures, I am truly a Bird watcher. If I could I would join a Bird watcher group but due to my health I could never do all the walking. Isn't God Great!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM

Happy Birthday Mom, I know I am 2 days late, but I wanted to upload a picture and I couldn't until today for some reason. Mom I remember all the dumb presents I use to by you, and I remember all the great presents you bought me. I'm sure you had a WONDERFULL BIRTHDAY WITH THE ANGELS. I Miss you horrible, I know I will see you again, but it wasn't on your Birthday. Mom I am so glad you were born. I Love You Forever

TAFFY

Here is Spanky"s new little sister, She came from the same Amish farm as Spanky but is really not related in any way. Spanky is a 3rd Generation Puggle and Taffy is a 1st Generation Puggle, She seems very smart, and if you have ever got a puppy from the Amish, they all seem to listen very well, She will be crate trained for at least a year, She won't be unsupervised while playing, she has a schedule where no food or water is given after 5:00 pm and she wakes about 6:30 am, I usually get up before 6:00 am. Every dog I have ever owned was housebroken within 3 weeks. I would never have a dog in the house that potty's indoors. Her eating schedule will change with age as well as trusting her alone. People think crates are mean but they become to think of them as a crib, Rocky and Abby were 10 and 11 and they both still used theirs to nap in. Training is key when you have dogs. But she's sweet.

UNCOMMON FAITH

I'm listening to Joel Osteen preaching on uncommon faith, He saying radical faith gets radical results, He tells a story of a little girl wanting to keep a new baby calf and her dad said no they don't need another calf, Jamie the little girl cried and pleaded with her dad to keep the soon to be born baby calf, Her dad said ok Jamie if the calf is born black we will keep it. Joel showed a picture of the new baby calf it was black and right between the calf's eyes was a white J. Jamie's faith and prayers were answered, she TRUELY BELIEVED the Lord would answer her prayers, and He did. Perhaps a marriage is ready to end, I believe in UNCOMMON FAITH. God can do what people cannot do, He also told of a little girl who had lost the tips of 2 of her fingers, the doctor told the father she would never have the tips of her fingers and no fingernails, The father told the doctor he was wrong, The doctor then told the Mother her dad wouldn't believe she would never have the tips of her fingers or fingernails. Well after time to heal her dad took her back to the doctor to remove the bandages and when the doctor removed the bandages he said Oh My God, I don't believe it, she has fingernails and the tips of her fingers had grown back to where she could use them. The doctor was amased, The father was not because he had UNCOMMON FAITH. God wants us to have believe that when things look impossible we need to have UNCOMMON FAITH.

WISE WORDS

Last year a friend of mine was giving me some advice about being my own person, it started when I had told her I called home to tell my husband I was going to stop in at Old Navy, he said no come home and I did, She said first why did I even call, I have a mind of my own I didn't need permission to stop at Old Navy. Well another piece of advice she gave me was to make friends, go visit a friend etc. Well I took her advice and I have made new friends, I have went places without asking for permission (I always invite him to join me) and I can tell you that's the best advice I could have heard at the exact time I needed it. Well today my FRIEND is sad, missing a child she lost in a tragic accident. WHAT COULD I POSSIBLY SAY, Nothing she hears will erase her hurt or longing for her daughter, other then saying I'm praying for you I wouldn't know what to say, But Thank the Lord she knows someday soon she will see her again, but it wasn't this morning and I truly feel so sad for my friend that I couldn't come up with some advice to give her like she did me at the exact time she needed it.

SISTER,S

Yesterday I had breakfast with my two sister's, What a BLESSING the Lord has given to me. Both has always been there for me in time of need, I will never be able to repay them for the help they both have given to me, but one thing for sure, I can't give them money, But I can LOVE THEM WITH ALL MY HEART. I would give them anything I have, I would sit with them when they are sick, But more important I can PRAY for them, We differ on religion, but I know they both Believe in God, to me they are where I was when I first got saved (They know nothing) like a little baby they need fed the gospel to grow, but, They don't see it that way. Isn't it interesting how different people interpret the Bible. But bottom line is GOD HAS TRULY BLESSED ME WITH 2 WONDERFUL SISTER'S. THANK-YOU LORD
