Things to be Thankful for:
Simplicity, fresh air through an open window
Quiet moments spent reading a good book
Music moments to rest and relax
Spending quiet time with God in prayer
I would maintain that thanks are the highest form of thought; and that gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder. G. K. Chesterton . A Short History of England, 1917
An attitude of gratitude is a never-ending prayer. William Arthur Ward, Thoughts of a Christian Optimist, 1968
Always looking for things to share at tea parties. These cute sandwiches are three simple ingredients. Strawberries, cream cheese and a loaf of bread to cut into cute shapes. I even have a tea pot cookie cutter that would be cute with this. If you can find strawberry flavored cream cheese, these would be tasty in pink too.
I don't have any photos but a few weeks ago Hannah and Jake had company. His phamily came over for dinner and they went outdoors to light a fire in the fire pit. As the fire started Jake's sister heard a noise and saw five kitten come out of the fire pit. They had been living in the fire pit and their mother was not around. They were so blessed. Only a few singed whiskers. Not a burn on any of them. They have a friend who is caring for them as they need to be bottled fed. Their story reminds me of the three men in the fire in the Old Testament- Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. You can read it in the Book of Daniel 3:16-30. They were thrown into the fire and when the king went see if they were burned he saw a fourth man in the fire. Those young men came out unscathed. God works in mysterious ways. I will get updates about the kittens. I was hoping their mother would show up but no luck. Maybe their friend will provide a few photos as the kittens are growing up quickly. They were about 6 weeks old when they came out of the fire pit.
Here are some Pinterest kittens in a basket. Aren't they so cute?

ReplyDeleteThose are most wonderful thankfuls and those sweet kittens are thankful to be okay I'm sure. Thanks for joining our Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!
ReplyDeleteNow I'm wishing I hadn't given all my mother's cookie cutters away. So blessed for tender souls like those ladies who rescued and are caring for the kittens. They must have been so very frightened.
ReplyDeleteGratitude is a gift, i try to stay in a thankful frame of mind.
ReplyDeleteThose kittens are blessed, and no, mama won't come back, she's afraid to at this point. I hope they all get good homes after being spayed/neutered.
Thank you for joining Feline Friday!
How sad about the kittens' mother not returning, but I am glad the kittens were rescued. XO
