1.16.11

Something is making me smile.
The puppies.

Pia passed away two weeks after giving birth due to hypecalcema – lack of calcium. I felt bad because my ignorance led to an unintentional negligence. I should have paid more attention.

But the six puppies born to her – Cyrus, Theneena, Trish, Quadro, Pipo, Bunsita – brighten me up. They are now six weeks old having been on November 27, 2010.
A bit expensive to maintain them.
S-26 for milk.
Pet One for solid food.
Vaccines.
Deworming.

Quadro will be adopted by Ricky. Pipo by Loren.

Theneena is supposed to go to Marilou. And Trish to Pat.
But how will they manage to sustain their needs?

Cyrus and Bunsita will stay with us.
Bunsita had this derma problem two weeks ago and had to be shaved, but now the hair is growing back again.

And looking after them is something that makes me smile.


REFLECTIONS
Exodus 1-4

Rewind:
Genesis 15:13-14
Then the LORD said to him, “Know for certain that your descendants will be strangers in a country not their own, and they will be enslaved and mistreated four hundred years. But I will punish the nation they serve as slaves, and afterward they will come out with great possessions.”

The Lord’s word slowly taking shape. God’s plan cannot be twisted, changed, deleted.

God was kind to the disobedient midwives because their disobedience to authority was premised on their fear of God; their disobedience favored God’s favored people. Something to mull about.

Let me be attentive to “burning bushes” in my life – people, time, circumstances – so that I am fully aware when you are speaking to me, Lord!

Let me not become like Moses who finds a lot of excuses to avoid leading your people – although I am fully aware that I do not want to be under the public’s prying eyes, and you know it is for purely selfish reasons.

Exodus 3:14
I AM WHO I AM
cf. John 8:58
God’s name = Jesus!
