Tricks and Thanks.

Waverly is very communicative. 

Go Cats! Yay!

She loves to tell Fenway to "go, go, go" when Fen gets too close while she is eating. I tried to teach her that a dog says, "ruff ruff", but my mom taught her "woof woof" and well, here's what we get when we ask, "Waverly, what does a dog say?"...

I apologize that the videos are sideways. I can't figure out how to turn them. :/

On a different note... Obviously, we just celebrated Thanksgiving and so many people posted what they're thankful for. I didn't. Actually, I'm typically opposed to posting that kind of thing. I see it kind of like Valentine's Day: I don't need one day out of the year to feel loved or thankful; that should be an all-the-time kind of thing. 

I was blog surfing the day after Thanksgiving and read this post: THANKSGIVING and JOY. Wow. That's all I had to say after reading this. The woman who wrote this has been through a lot this year. If you read previous posts, you'll learn her story. But I had to ask myself, "Would I feel this way if I had been in her shoes?" I know she's not healing on her own; she is allowing the strength and grace of the Lord to flow through her life. She ends this post by saying, "I am so thankful for the things in my life. But I have learned a valuable lesson this year. No matter what the circumstances, it is so important to rejoice." Wow. 

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 "Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus."

This is how we are to give thanks.
