This and That 3

Church was good today. Pastor talked about Daniel as a young man when he refused to eat of the Kings food and asked for veggies instead. 10 days later when he was checked he was healthier than the ones who ate the kings food and all the young men were given veggies. The point was he held true to his faith and did not eat foods that went against it. He stood firm on God's word as we all should even when other things seem better they not always are.

We went to Emily's after church to check her cat out. She is over 20 and in her last day or days. It is always so hard to loose a pet let alone watching the dieing process. You always wish you could do something but there is nothing you can do other than comfort.

I know we have put animals down and we have also allowed them to die naturally at home. I prefer to let them go on their own. God has created an order to death. There are stages of death that are hard to watch but it is a part of life. I know how hard it was to be there while and when my Dad was passing. I wanted to take away all pain and help him breath when he was struggling. But all that could be done was pain meds and comfort measures. Having allowed pets to pass away at home helped me to know and understand what was happening to Dad. I am so thankful I was able to be there when he went home to Jesus. We did not even realize at first it had happened, it was so peaceful, he just stopped breathing.

I do not know how people who do not have a faith handle the death of a loved one. Knowing Dad was saved and knowing he was going home to Jesus gave such great comfort. I always had a peace about his cancer and his leaving us. I miss him with my whole heart but I will see him again as I have Jesus as my Savor.

The little girl I asked for prayers for yesterday has been placed on hospice care. She is only 6, so young. Keep praying for healing for her please. I really do believe God can and will heal her, I just want her healing to be here on earth for now. http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/jocelyndickhoff

I am going to start making some Sauerkraut soup soon for our supper tonight. Will have burger on hand for Coach who is not such a kraut fan, lol. I love the stuff and am excited as i will be using some of my kraut I made last fall. Yummo.

Going to the basement today to do some more cleaning. Ugh so much to go through but will be so nice once the job is done. I also have to go to Mom's and get the pad for the bunk bed Lorraine will be using when she comes this weekend. May need to find a pad to the upper buns for Vic. We will see if it is comfortable for her first. Us old people need soft! hehe

I am off to get the rabbits fed and then to the deep dark basement!
