THIRST FOR LIVING WATER, PART II

Oasis in Libya

Psalms 42:1-2

[1]As the deer pants for the water brooks, So pants my soul for You, O God.

[2]My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and appear before God?

Psalms 63:1

O God, You are my God; Early will I seek You; My soul thirsts for You; My flesh longs for You In a dry and thirsty land Where there is no water.

Luke 5:1,12-13

[1]So it was, as the multitude pressed about Him to hear the word of God, that He stood by the Lake of Gennesaret,

[12]And it happened when He was in a certain city, that behold, a man who was full of leprosy saw Jesus; and he fell on his face and implored Him, saying, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.”

[13]Then He put out His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.” Immediately the leprosy left him.

John 6:35

And Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst.

1 Corinthians 10:1,3-4

[1]Moreover, brethren, I do not want you to be unaware that all our fathers were under the cloud, all passed through the sea,

[3]all ate the same spiritual food,

[4]and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ.

[38]He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.”

Revelation 7:16-17

[16]They shall neither hunger anymore nor thirst anymore; the sun shall not strike them, nor any heat;

[17]for the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will shepherd them and lead them to living fountains of waters. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”

Revelation 21:6

And He said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts.

SENIOR LADY: VISITORS IN MY GARDEN!

 

I was glancing over my container garden recently.

I noticed movement behind my potting soil. 

Four pairs of shiny eyes were looking at me. 

A feral cat had delivered four kittens in my 

garden. The mother cat  was gone. Her four

 kittens were left behind my bags of potting

 soil. They were purring soft meows. Although

 they were sweet and cute, I was not happy 

to see them. All I could envision was the havoc

 they could do to my garden. I really thought my 

chasing away the backyard feral cats was working.

My Mom befriended two feral cats 6 months ago.

One cat  is tortoise shell and the other one is a 

orange tabby. I would scold them if they came

 near my garden. I hadn't seen any cats in my 

garden until yesterday.  I left to run errands.

This was the scene I saw when I returned home:

I called my Mom outside, so she would see

could see my distress. She was overjoyed.

I explained to her how my garden would 

be ruined. I also mentioned that some 

female cats bear kittens every two months!

It seemed like that cat was nursing her

kittens all day! I let her stay in the garden.

Only because I hoped the forecasted storm 

would cause her to move the kittens to the

 backyard. The cat and her kittens were

still in my garden! I needed to harvest

vegetables and herbs. I chased her out 

of my garden. I took a gloved hand and

scooted these kittens out of my garden.

Apparently the cat came and got her

kittens. They were not where I placed 

them. I installed tall poles at the entrance

 to my garden. I hope this addition will

prevent future visits from cats and kittens

 in my garden. I would hate to call the

Animal Control Center about the feral

cats and kittens. This may eventually be

my only solution. I already know my Mom 

would not like that!

LORD YOU ARE PRAYER, PART 2

O Lord, You know it altogether.
