This is Boots, the vomit culprit of yesterday's post. He loves being near me and you can see he has made himself at home on my Bible and notes!! Today the vet called me to remind me of the cat's appointment. They called when I was looking through old medical records of Cat scans, MRI's, and ultrasounds.So when they said this is Dr. Strickland's office calling about your appointment for the cat, I thought they meant for the CAT SCAN!!! I said you must have the wrong number! Anyways it took quite a few minutes for me to realize it was the vets office!! lol
Got this book in the mail today--it was originally written in the 1600's. It is based on Proverbs 4:23--I like what it says in the intro (not written by the author)-
"The unseen is as real and as important as the seen world, but the physical world intrudes and often dominates our lives. We all struggle with busyness and feel the need to be productive. In today's society doing is valued and sitting and reflecting is not valued. Which is better? Scripture gives us Jesus' assessment in the example of Mary and Martha (Luke 10:38-42). The inner life must be looked after, and this requires time. It takes time to examine our hearts--to make judgments about ourselves, to examine our motives, to examine what we really love and to build a relationship with God."
The book should be interesting--I wonder how much we can really know our own motives---all I can say is , thank God for the Lord Jesus Christ!.
That is a good quote. I wish I could put it into practice more, but when I do get the time I use it to...um, well...look at your blog?...!:)

glad you got your cat appt. and your CAT SCAN's straightened out before you found yourself having another CAT SCAN..:0) {{smile}}
Boots just wants to be next to God too. CAT SCAN - that's funny!
ReplyDelete...to examine our motives...
I was just reading in 'My Utmost for His Highest' about understanding that it takes more than just believing in God. It takes the deep motive of the heart to trust. But only a changed motive can trust in God. A changed motive comes from a changed heart.
Sounds like an intriguing book. I like something with substance.

I love the quote on our inner life! So true and important! But so often neglected as our outer world dominates our sight.
ReplyDeleteThat is funny about the cat scan!
Happy day!
Blessings,

Remarkable, really, that quote. Sounds like it could have been written yesterday.
ReplyDeleteHave you gone into HTML in Blogger to make paragraphs happen? And have you tried Flickr.com for uploading pictures?
