Psalm 125 ~ Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abides forever.

Psalm 125

Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion,
which cannot be moved, but abides forever.

2 As the mountains surround Jerusalem,
so the Lord surrounds his people,
from this time forth and forevermore.

3 For the scepter of wickedness shall not rest
on the land allotted to the righteous,
lest the righteous stretch out
their hands to do wrong.

4 Do good, O Lord, to those who are good,
and to those who are upright in their hearts!
5 But those who turn aside to their crooked ways
the Lord will lead away with evildoers!

Peace be upon Israel!

Cal, our oldest son, has provided us with - a Grand Dog - Jackson, the Husky

Xander, our younger son, has not provided us with a Grand Dog. This is merely honorable mention.

George Carlin, not my favorite comedian, once said to have a pet is to invite disaster upon you. Merely a pet suicide ready to happen, years away.

Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abides forever.

And the Sims let you know, if you speak of your pet, you loose social bonus points. Meh. If you noticed February 3rd, we did not have a post. Edward and I were traveling to Kansas to Winterwood Springers to retrieve the newest member of our family. Our third Springer dog. And today as Matt Maher's - "Hold Us Together" played on the radio, I watched Jackson dash up and down the stairs to teach the new dog about stairs. It was the scene were Jackson, the rescue dog, learned about stairs from being tethered outside, with the previous people, all of his life. Merit, our late Springer, was delirious to teach Jackson about stairs. Jackson, age 2, was less than enthusiastic. It was one of those moments you know the dog remembered and was passing on to the new kid on the block.


Do good, O Lord, to those who are good,
and to those who are upright in their hearts!


Psalm 19:1-3 American King James Version
1 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows his handiwork.
2 Day to day utters speech, and night to night shows knowledge.
3 There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.

Each day in our lives we are building something. Even when the detail is simply our household pets. The continuity of kindness reflected in the older dog to the younger dog made me appreciate the days we spend bringing acts of gentleness to His creation. Merit, our loved Springer for 14 years and 2 months bringing knowledge to a scared, shaky rescue dog.

We can spend our lives saying empty nester. Or we can say we have love to share. It is a fine thing to say I have enough in my life to give even to little parts of creation. Prayers are appreciated for house training, crate training and for our family. Thanks for being part of the blog today. God bless you this day.
