It's just a kitty

Lana here....

And so we are walking on holy ground here. Al is speaking The Kingdom here on earth to everyone who enters our house, visitors, neighbors, and nurses. I am treasuring each moment we have.

Al is tucked in for the night and we are listening to the Messiah, his favorite, there is PEACE all around and I realize what an honor and privilege I have been given to walk this journey with My Pal. To be a witness to his words, thoughts, memories and his funny camp songs.

One of our cats has come up injured...Monday, Boo Bear came in limping and hobbling, his hind leg compromised. And then he seemingly disappeared and we thought the worst. So, just before Al fell asleep he asked me if Bear showed up would I make certain he would get taken to the vet and cared for. And then he prayed, "Lord, I know he's just a kitty, but would you bring him home?" Not five minutes went by and Bear came through the kitty door....Al had to get up and pet him and I could see the relief in his eyes. I tell you this story because this has been part of our journey.....God in the smallest parts of our hearts, in the details of our lives.


I understand we are facing a "giant" and like David, God has equipped us for the battle, even before we knew there was one.  "The circumstances in front of us are designed, therefore, to increase our size in the Spirit." Graham Cooke

I am living with expectation....but whether or not the result is what I desire.....the enemy is still defeated.
