Reminding us all that life on this earth is temporary...that our life really is, should be a testimony of what the Holy Bible says which is the Word of God. What eternal assurance can our earthly possession be worth when they could at any time come crashing down. Look at all the tragic/devastating events that our beautiful country have gone through. Hundreds of lives are lost not knowing whether they were saved or not before that tragedy struck? I pray that all of us give our hearts to the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob for Jesus is the only way the truth and the life. There is no experience of real joy in the midst of sorrows if we don't make Jesus as our Lord and Savior. Some have been vocal about why America is experiencing so much pain and grief? They say that it is because we have gotten ourselves so worldly that we couldn't distinguish good from pure evil. And that even a number of evangelicals and preachers in the pulpit have been very very puppet-like minded. They don't want to rock the boat which is standing for the Word of God. Weathering the storm has taught them to play safe and into a whispering mode. There's truth in this. We need to pray harder for lives to be saved. I believe that the church should be the forerunner in so doing what the gospel is: Preach the good news that Jesus is coming soon...we are the church where the spirit of the Lord lives.
Today, October 6, 2017, is my beloved Tootsie's 11th birthday. I took a day off so I could take her to the Vet to get that growing lump on her left side checked and also spend the whole day with her. So the cytology/aspirate shows cells highly suspicious for cancer. Surgical removal is recommended the earliest possible. Only those who have lost a precious dog or precious pets to cancer can know the gaping hole and the heartache I am experiencing right at this very moment. However, I believe that God's grace and healing power be upon Tootsie once again. God, my Jehovah Rapha, the Healer.
If there's one prayer that I would desperately ask God to answer, is for Tootsie to live 7 more years of healthy and a happy life with me. All day I couldn't stop tearing up... I couldn't imagine my life without her love and loyalty and sweet idiosyncracies.
At the Vet's waiting room. Asked the vet's asst. to take a snapshot of me & Tootsie.

Tootsie waiting for the visit to be over and done with so she can get out of there and go to the park nearby. Judging by the way she moves, you can't tell she has some health concerns. She loves the outdoors. Just like me, she's so good in walking. She can outrun me in the park. She's an excellent companion, my guard protector, and my muse when I need to pour out what's hovering my mind and quiet them solely for my sake. I love you, Tootsie. You are Beautiful and I will marvel every moment with you.
