Sometimes it’s hard to see blessings in things that happen,
and even harder to recognize “how in the world is this God’s favor” on a
situation.
There’s no way we can fully
understand why things happen in life, but because of God’s grace we can put our
trust in Him to see us through each trial.
Hello everyone, I guess you’ve been wondering how physical
therapy for my arms is going. I’ve had
to cancel one appointment due to weather, but things seem to be back on
schedule.
To be honest, I haven’t stuck to it the way I should mainly
because I’ve forgotten how to do some of the exercises. When I look at the diagrams the therapist
gave me, they don’t look “normal” even though he made me do them. Does that make sense?
It Never Fails
For the most part though I’ve been behaving myself, not
something I can attest to for one of the rescue kitties. This is one of those things that “just
happened” and you have to deal with it when it does. Let me explain.
It’s not unusual for one of the cats to climb on the
computer and lay across the keyboard. No,
I don’t encourage that behavior, but trying to keep them off becomes a game.
If you’re a cat owner you can relate to placing beds around
your work area, and doing everything possible to ensure your furry baby is
comfortable. This is especially true for
new rescues or those in recovery so I can keep an eye on them.
However, it never fails that they soon make their way
across your arms and on to the keyboard.
Somehow, they access things in your computer you never knew were there,
and trying to remove it while looking over them is practically impossible.
Rescuing Israel
His name is “Izzy”, aka Israel Aldi – Israel because we
hadn’t used the letter “I” yet to name a rescue, and Aldi because he was
rescued from a dumpster in the back of their store.
Giving the rescues a middle name is a way we
remember specific information, so it works for us. Plus, it reminds me to pray for the nation of
Israel daily.
When Izzy is with me, for some reason he has to sit on the computer. I’m sorry, but it’s actually hilarious how quickly he maneuvers around my work station before I can stop him.
He’s the only one that literally drapes himself over the screen from behind and dangles his legs across the front blocking my vision for typing. Once he sees the cursor – forget it, work has come to a stop.
This cat was one of our smallest and youngest rescues; he
pretty much thinks I’m his momma allowing me to examine him easily on a regular
basis. However, he has grown into a
super huge baby with rather large claws, in which he recently used on my left
arm. Anyway, he either was ticked off or
something spooked him. I don't have a clue as to what happened, but suddenly there was blood everywhere!
His freaking out left me with six deep scratch wounds about
seven inches long. I didn’t need stitches, but my forearm was pretty torn up
making it really painful to type even with the bandages and full arm
covering.
Scratching Work or Goofing Off?
Being a lefty, I might be out of commission for extended
periods of writing during one sitting. That may not be such a bad idea
considering today is National Goof off Day.
Mind you I’ve never taken advantage of that particular holiday, but I
think you’d agree “scratching work” as usual happens to be legitimate for a
brief time.
Thanks so much for your daily prayers and faithfulness. You
can be sure that I’m praying Kingdom promises from the Lord for preserving my
life through healing, protection and ministering to my spirit during things that happen that I don't quite understand.
“You have granted me life and favor,
and Your care has preserved my spirit.” (Job
10:12)
There are times in life when our bodies simply need a period of healing. For us to receive this blessing from the Lord we cannot feel bad or guilty over stepping back from some of our responsibilities in order for it to happen.
If you are in need of physical, emotional or spiritual
