After a Few Rubs

I am grateful The Holy Spirit suggested gently rubbing Snowball’s head early this morning because he was walking around very agitated. After a few rubs he snuggled up with me in bed and went right to sleep.

I am grateful Jezebel did not lose an eye this morning. Because she was abusive to Little Smokey he does not allow her to get close to him. This morning she tried to get close to him and her clawed her face just missing her eye. Stupid people win stupid prizes. She of course blames Little Smokey and threatened to throw him outside. I told her if she did that I would call the humane society and have her charged with cruelty to animals. He is very lovey dovey to me. Sometimes he will growl at me because he wants to be left alone and I leave him alone. No problems.

I am grateful that a dollar store had headphones. Mine broke and most stores wanted around fifty dollars for a pair I got at a dollar store for five dollars. I need them to drown out the annoying screeches of the cardinals when working outside.

I am grateful The Holy Spirit suggested laying an old carpet around the air conditioner outside to keep the weeds out.

For Giving Me

I am so grateful to those kind men for giving me sawdust for the garden. Not only will it keep the weeds down but it looks beautiful.

I am grateful The Holy Spirit reminded me of long cardboard boxes in the garage. They can be used in the garden. Dig a hole, put them in it, fill it it with dirt. Then, plant carrots. After that cover the area surrounding it with sawdust.

I am grateful The Holy Spirit reminded me that Jesus has forbidden me to share the work of my labour with Jezebel. Yesterday I dug up a big bunch of garlic and asked her to give it to a mutual friend who helps us out. Instead she gave it to her friends just to get praise. We got into a huge fight. From now on if The Holy Spirit guides me to share, I am to give it to them personally.

I am grateful The Holy Spirit guided me to the Bible verse where Jesus says that a laborer is to be paid their fare wages. The Holy Spirit has strongly informed me that I am not to work in Jezebel’s flower garden. If she has a hissy fit I am to remind her of what Jesus says and that I am forbidden to work in her garden until my ten years of wages is paid

Jesus said: Those who work deserve their pay. Luke 10: 7

Then, to remind her that the wages she owed me she gave to her drunken grand daughter who has done nothing for but to get drunk. You want garden work done, call her, not me.

The ten years of torment are over and now it is time to fight back.

But, I will not be doing the fighting, Jesus is my champion.

Jesus is with me as a dread champion [one to be greatly feared]; Therefore Abusive men and women will stumble and not overcome me. They will be completely shamed, for they have not acted wisely and have failed in their schemes Jeremiah 20:11

Is Having Regular

I am grateful Snowball is having regular bowel and urinary movements again

I am grateful the Lord has blessed me that the broccoli, cauliflower and peas are coming up good in the raised gardens. The potatoes are a little behind but that is okay

I am grateful The Holy Spirit reminded me to sow the lavender, basil, clover and chamomile tea in the garden. I planted two rows of potatoes amongst them

I am grateful The Holy Spirit reminded me to sow the flower seeds in the greenhouses ( tents with tarps over them ).

I am grateful the vegetables and herbs are coming up in the sun room

It Shall be Planted With

I am grateful for the great weather. It was cool so a good portion of the one back garden was hand tilled with a twissler. Tomorrow, by Jehovah’s grace, it shall be planted with potatoes, lavender, clover, basil and chamomile. The rhubarb is coming along great but some manure was mixed in with it.

I am grateful Snowball is feeling better and has his appetite back.

I am grateful The Holy Spirit reminded me to spend cuddle time with Smokey while Jezebel was playing Christian at church.

Snowball Had His First

I am grateful Jehovah blessed me that Snowball had his first pee and poo in three days.

I am grateful The Holy Spirit suggested changing certain things in Snowballs diet. I failed to remember all the additives in store bought chicken broth. These were preventing Snowball from peeing.

I ever so am grateful The Holy Spirit guided me to articles and Bible Verses to calm me down. I was getting very angry because Jezebel refuses to listen to advice and then always blames me when things go south.

Here is one of them: But you belong to God, my dear children. You have already won a victory over those people, because the Spirit who lives in you is greater than the spirit who lives in the world. 1 John 4:4

So, The Holy Spirit in me is greater that Satan who dwells in her.

And this one: But we belong to God, and those who know God listen to us. If they do not belong to God, they do not listen to us. That is how we know if someone has the Spirit of truth or the spirit of deception. 1 John 4:6

I am grateful the security officer at the grocery store was a good runner. I left the store while leaving a box I put my key for the scooter and wallet in at the check out. The young lady gave it to him and he ran almost a block down the road to catch me and give it back.

Too Bad It

I am grateful it stopped raining during my morning outing on the scooter. Too bad it rained when Jezebel went to and from her doctors appointment.

I am grateful The Holy Spirit had me look up the side effects of Jezebel’s new medicine. The side effects are worse that the condition she was prescribed the meds for. If she would only take responsibility for her behavior she would not need to take any drugs.

I am grateful The Holy Spirit suggested hooking up the rain barrels to the eves troughs to catch the rain water for the garden.

I am Super Grateful That

I am grateful The Holy Spirit reminded me to take cuttings from the chrysanthemums, dip them into honey and put them into potting soil in a flower pot. God willing they will take root by the time planting season begins in June.

I am super grateful that the man at a local electronic store is giving me a new MP3 player that costs twice as much as the one I bought because the one I bought did not work.

I am super grateful that The Holy Spirit encouraged me to keep my mouth shut when Negative Nellie Jezebel did nothing but complain about the raised gardens which prevented a fight. He reminded me the one I am working for is Jesus not a selfish, ungrateful blow hard. She does nothing but put others down while talking as if she were so perfect Jesus Christ would be jealous of her.

In the Sun Room.

I am grateful The Holy Spirit suggested bringing Snowball to sleep with me last night. He curled up under the covers like a baby and slept soundly all night. I think he does not like being alone anymore.

I am grateful The Holy Spirit suggested lining the bottom of planter boxes with old newspapers to prevent the nutrients in the planter boxes from being washed away when watered or excess rain.

I am grateful The Holy Spirit suggested using planter boxes for starting the vegetable seeds in the sun room.

I am grateful The Holy Spirit suggested using an unused long tote box for starting the flower seeds in the sun room.

I am grateful The Holy Spirit suggested using plastic old yogurt containers for starting the vegetable seeds.

Will be a Huge Amount Of

I am grateful The Holy Spirit woke me up at 1A.M because Snowball was having a seizure. I think it was caused because he had constipation. I made his dandelion tea stronger

I am grateful The Holy Spirit suggested putting in a piece of paper in an old pill bottle with the name of the veggies that were planted so I know what is where

I am grateful The Holy Spirit suggested cutting off pieces of chrysanthemums, dipping them in honey and putting them in a pot to take root. God willing there will be a huge amount of them. The same thing was done last year with lavender and will be repeated this year.

I am grateful The Holy Spirit suggested using empty egg cartons for starting the carrots

I am grateful The Holy Spirit suggested drilling holes on the side of rain barrels that are cut in half for gardens so about twenty beets can be grown in it

Has Even Better

I am grateful the garden center has even better sales this week on potting soil than last week.

I am grateful for the nice weather so the pea’s, broccoli and cauliflower could be planted today.

I am grateful for a site with wonderful morning and evening prayers that can be added on to my regular prayers at that time.

I am grateful The Holy Spirit reminded me to trim the cats claws. They were beginning to look like eagle claws.

I am grateful The Holy Spirit reminded me to pick some fresh cat nip to give the cats for being such nice boys during the trimming.
