Separate worries from concerns

If a situation is a concern, find out what God would have you do and let go of the anxiety.
If you can't do anything about a situation-forget it!

Having Problems?

Talk to God on the spot. Try to nip small problems in the bud. Don't wait until it is time to go to bed to try and pray.

Fluffy catches gopher

Today, we got really excited to see our cat, Fluffy, catch a gopher. We've had Fluffy for about a year now, she came into our backyard one day hungry and meowing, and we decided to feed her and then later when the weather got cold we decided to keep her indoors at night. NOw, she spends half her time indoors and half her time outdoors. Well, she is real sweet, but she does not know how to hunt, she goes out and tries and looks and smells at all the gopher holes but doesn't seem to know what to do, like the other cats do. Well, today she did it! I don't know how, but my husband saw her with the gopher in her mouth and then she dropped it and let it go. It was fun watching her. She was pretty proud of what she did and got lots of praises. She had her first breakthrough.................I just hope she doesn't decide to bring them inside next time!
