Guess Who's Turning 12 Today?!?!?

Somebody pretty special around here is having a birthday today!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, PEANUT!!!

Birthday boy is turning 12 years old today!

Can we say "PAR-TAY!  PAR-TAY!"

Time to break out the kitty treats,

catnip, special "birthday cake",

and his present . . . snowball pompoms!

(Shhhhh . . . that's a secret!)

Perfect for the major blizzard we're gonna have today!

My precious little furry buddy is a

rescue kitty!  He came to share my heart and home about

10+ years ago - from the local Humane Society shelter.  The police had picked him up from wandering the streets - and brought him there.  And am I ever thankful to the Lord that they did!

From what I understand - he apparently lost his first home in a fire, and must have run away scared - poor little guy!!  But now he is the sweetest, happiest little fella -

lovingly nicknamed "The Boss" by my friends and neighbors!

(((((Hugs))))) little buddy - your Mommy loves you!!

A Light in the Darkness . . .

Every Shabbat we light a special candle, or two . . . 

It reminds us that Yeshua (Jesus)  is the Light of the World,

and since believers are His children,

we too are a light in this dark world.

May we walk as children of the light,

always pointing others to Him.

Shabbat Shalom!

Today was messy . . . ;)

Today was messy . . . 

(Just keepin' it real here, folks!)

Today was FUN!!!

But tomorrow will be

a RESTFUL one!

Friday is always Preparation Day for Shabbat . . . 

so it can get a little crazy . . . and messy . . .

and somehow everything turns out well in spite of it all!

Today I made the traditional Challah bread

and will share my favorite recipe, plus tips on how to make

these cute Challah rolls

next week, so stay tuned!  Until then . . . 

May the Lord bless you and keep you!

Shabbat Shalom!
