It’s Friday. Ah, we made it.
I look out my window and there is a line of intermixed palm trees and monkey tail trees. Beyond that line is a large cemetery. It’s constantly busy. If people aren’t having a service to bury a loved one, then they are sitting around a grave stone enjoying a picnic. A few of the headstones are surrounded with solar lights, so at night it is very easy to see them from the road.
A few mornings a week my youngest and her pappy take a walk around the cemetery. They go in search of life; ferrel cats and jungle fowl. They have named certain ones, and are delighted when they see them. They always come back with a great story, or a song that they made up as they were walking/running along.
We are still amazed at how the cats and chickens hang out together in the cemetery. We almost didn’t believe the hubby the first time he came back from a walk across the street, but he has pictures! Thank you smart phone. There were clearly roosters strutting along side the cats, and momma hens leading lines of chicks right next to sleepy cats. One day there was a bunny hopping along the path. Wow, isn’t this what heaven is supposed to be like? The lion sitting peacefully next to the lamb?
Two verses come to mind as I think on the seeming peace and tranquility of the cat and chicken hangout.
Romans 12:18 “If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.” Hebrews 12:14 “Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord.”
At time these verses are challenging. “Really? Be at peace with EVERYONE? ALL THE TIME?” or “Oy, Holy? That just takes too much effort, I give up” may be the response that we want to give. Ok, maybe it’s just me. Look again at the first part of that verse. “Make every effort” is what is says. “Do your best” is how I read that. Phew…I know that I’m not perfect, but so does God. He wants me to try and do my best, knowing that I’m not going to be perfect until I see Him face to face. Seriously, I feel like a weight it lifted off of my shoulders.
I will try my best to be at peace with everyone, and to strive to be holy. I’m so thankful for the grace that God shows me when I fail and choose to pick up an offense that isn’t mine or just plain don’t want to forgive. Thank you God for some silly cats and chickens that give us a fun reminder to live in peace. Time for a walk across the street.
Amen Amy. God bless your heart to want to better yourself and the want to walk closer to the Lord. Much love my friend. 🙂 ❤
It’s so much easier when you have people to walk with. Thanks Sam.

Nevertheless, this unfortunate accident sparked another controversial
idea from the LAPD- making airguns, Airsoft guns, BB devices and other
toy guns conform to a new regulation. To produce an outstanding firing speed, the electric
motor is regularly and constantly feeding ammunition into the chamber of
and is constantly rotating the barrels. They are all in full battle gear during their skirmishes and competitions.
Thirdly, for the most part, the rifles are used in the same basic way as the airsoft riffles
but, of course, for different activities. This is a critical thing
to find out because you want to avoid a situation where you start experiencing frustration, when the shipment
of the airsoft machine guns from the vendor.
