I found Predicate this morning, lifeless. She had lived her reclusive 17 years and passed peacefully. I thought she was still alive when I found her.
But she wasn’t.
On Saturday I could tell that she was fading fast. She seemed unusually loving for her, wanting to be held and stroked. Unlike her. I think she was saying good-bye.
Today in “Days of Praise,” the devotional that comes from ICR, it was about the Noahic Covenant. That is the one that God made with animals.
God cares about the animals. The Bible makes that pretty clear. They are a glorious part of His creation.
Predicate’s days were also numbered.
I grieve today.
She gave us many years of sweetness, sass, and love. She held court as the reigning cat in our home.
Can you believe that we only have Topaz now? I can’t.
Ed has a cat named Alex, and if Ed moves back next summer he will bring Alex along.
Corgi Hollows will have two cats again, then.
I am still looking for a pure white cat like Gandalf. I miss him, so much. He was such a good hunter!
Cats are working animals here at Corgi Hollows. I justify having two, at least.
They keep the chipmunk and mouse population manageable.
I signed another contract with the waterproofing people. This time I pray that the chaos and damp will be ended.
Just in time for the Rapture!
Are you watching all the shaking and quaking of the earth? The political upheaval? The signs are getting urgent.
We watch. We wait.
Rosh Hoshanna is Sept 22 to 24 this year. What a great time to anticipate Christ’s return!
“No one knows the day or hour” is a Hebrew idiom that refers to the Feast of Trumpets. Rosh Hoshanna.
We all may watch with anticipation on these high watch days.
The hay is cut and baled. We finally had a few days of sunshine which allowed this to happen. It’s beautiful. Dogs and I can run in the fields again. The hay was incredibly long! We have limited access to running the fields in winter and when the hay is uncut. It’s a joy to let the dogs run freely.
So many things have been gotten in order this summer at Corgi Hollows. I feel like one of those old Scandinavian housewives that constantly kept their homes spotless in case Jesus came and snatched them home.
Forbid anyone finding a speck of dust in their home after they’re gone!!!
I was raised with that in mind.
Laughable, now, in this crazy technical age, but they had a point.
The Bible itself admonishes us to get our house in order!
Believe me, I’m trying!!
Right now I just keep praying for the Lord to open the eyes of the ones I’m praying for.
I was reading in Hebrews this week. Yes, I’m almost done with reading the whole Bible in 2025. I was reading about the faith of the “hall of fame” in chapter 11. So many of those mentioned were clearly people WITH ISSUES.
Like us.
They had faith. They believed. And God counted them righteous.
What a beautiful promise for us failures.
Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved.
This is a precious promise and God is the merciful judge.
Will you and I spend eternity together? I sure hope so. I trust that you have placed your faith and trust in Christ. I have.
I cannot imagine the wonder of it all. We have so much to look forward to.
So much hope.
See you up there!
MARANATHA!
