God and Kittens!


This week, I've become an aunt...again! :-)  I guess not really since technically, it's not my cat, but I'm still claiming the kittens since the neighbor cat decided to deliver them in my parents flowerbed.  I've been around kittens when I was a kid, but never newborn kittens. I have been absolutely fascinated by them, and I can't seem to get anything done because I cannot tear myself away from watching them.  God's creation constantly blows me away, and that's why these kittens are no different. There are 5 kittens, and everyone of them are perfectly made. Even though they fit in the palm of my hand, everything is in place, right where it's supposed to be...perfect. They even have perfect little feet with the pads on the bottom of their feet and their little bitty claws.  I don't know how God makes something so small to be so perfect, and even though their eyes are not open, how do they know when mama is nearby or far away?  They stop crying as soon as she goes in her crate to be with them, but they're pretty loud and "whiny" when mama's away! :-)  I look at how helpless and defenseless they are against everything, and all I want to do is protect them.  In fact, I'm learning lots about cats I never knew (thanks to Google) before. I never knew Tom Cats want to kill and eat kittens. Now, as gross as that is, it just really makes me mad. I've seen a Tom Cat try to get close to mom and her babies, and that's when Julie's defenses go up, the claws come out, and I'm ready to attack.  I ran it off the other night, and I'm always on the lookout for him. We decided it to be best to keep mama and the babies in the garage every night to protect them.  Mama is so trusting of us, and she knows we are going to help her protect her babies. I'm so glad that she had her kittens this week when all of the outrage is pouring out on tv over gay marriage so it will keep my mind out of it all. I'm so tired of hearing about this stuff, and I'm so tired of people arguing and hating people because you agree or disagree with it. I've even grown tired of reading stuff about it on Facebook that I'm just not looking at it anymore as of today. I'm just tired....I'm tired of this world, I'm tired of people getting angry with each other over worldly matters. I'm so tired of reading hate online, I'm tired of hearing hate on tv. I'm REALLY tired of hearing Obama this, Obama that. Why can't we just shut the tv off? Why can't we shut the computers off? Why can't we log off Facebook and turn our phones off? Why can't we just go outside and praise our God for all He's done for us, for all He's given us to enjoy, and stop pointing fingers on a status update or news article?? Look around at nature and thank God for it! He created this earth for US, and we are too busy pointing fingers and arguing amongst ourselves to even care about what He's done for us. I think God must ask Himself over and over, "What have I created?" Honestly, I don't know why He doesn't destroy us all for our idiocracy. Satan uses any tactic to get our focus off God. I don't care what it is, he is good at totally distracting us from what really matters. Instead of us being fishers of men, we are slanderers of each other. I realize people are passionate about different things, as am I, but what good does it do to constantly dwell on issues and try to change peoples minds just because they do or do not agree with you? Especially on Facebook or in a blog. People are so bold online, have you ever noticed this? I'm including myself on this one, and it's so silly when you think about it. Only God can change someone's mind on something, and why don't we let Him? His ways are so far above ours, but we think we always know best.  So what do you choose this day? Do you choose to sit online and argue about the matters of this world, call someone a hater because they don't agree with you? Or do you choose to turn the computer off, go outside and enjoy the beauty that God has given us?  As for me, I choose to praise Him for all He's done for me; therefore I will be OFF my "gadgets" today, and I will be outside praying for you reading this, loving all of mankind whether they agree 100% with me all the time or not, and thanking my God for another day of life, health, and for ALL He's given me! I pray you do the same!! Have a blessed Saturday!
