Thoughts and Prayer for July 30, 2015

Hi, this is Tippi we have to say goodnight now, but before we do, we want to share a painting, some thoughts and a prayer.

Tonight's painting is by artist is Charles Wysocki and is titled "Cat's Meow."

The week is winding down and we hope you have had a good week. We also hope that you have something good planned for the weekend. Don't spend the whole weekend working on home stuff, unless it is something you enjoy doing. Have some fun, take a drive, go somewhere and try to see the forest, not just the trees, or to the beach and listen to the waves crashing on the rocks, but watch out for the seagulls. It is good to get away, even if it is a day trip, doing something out of the ordinary helps to relieve stress.

Time for our prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father, please be with our family, friends and even strangers, be they humans and animals; please provide guidance and wisdom daily, and comfort, strength and courage when needed.
Please help the homeless, human and animal, they are alone all, and need your help to find safe, loving homes, with families to call their own.
Please help the lost find their way home, their families love and miss them so much; and please keep them safe until they are reunited.
Please comfort and strengthen those suffering illness and loss, and there are many we know suffering illness and too many suffering loss. We ask that you hold them and help them through their illness and loss.
Please help those suffering other difficulties, please help those with financial difficulties, maybe they have lost their job or have unexpected bills, help them please. Please help those with emotional or mental illness, they are suffering deep within themselves. Please hold them and help them through their struggles. Please give them what they need to overcome their difficulties, whatever they may be.
Thank you for the kind and compassionate humans that work daily to help others; they make do make a difference and we are grateful for their efforts.
Thank you for the men and women in uniform, military and local police. We also thank you for the firefighters that are working hard to put out the many wildfires this summer. They all are risking their lives so that we are safe.
Thank you for those we love and that loves us back; and thank you too for everything we have, because others have much less. We know we are blessed.
Father, with gentleness, please teach us humility, patience, compassion, understanding and tolerance; and please help us to be less judgmental. Help us to remember that no one of us is perfect.
Please forgive us when we offend and help us to be more forgiving towards those that offend us.
Most importantly, we ask for more true love, the love that never fails, the love that heals the spirit, the love that makes all beauty, goodness and light possible. AMEN.

Off to bed now, we wish that you have a great night's sleep and dream of sweet and beautiful things. Then when you wake, remember to stretch like a cat and greet the day with a smile. A smile is the best part of you showing through. Be happy, show it and share it.

Praying for you always.

Love you bunches.

Tippi & Ruger & Mom.
