Timmie and the Mouse

The evening started with a scream from my Daughter...

My husband and I rush into the kitchen and the shouting continued,

“Timmie has a mouse, Timmie has a mouse”

Our 6 year old Siamese cat certainly did have a mouse.

Timmie was innocently playing with the poor creature.

When we got onto the back deck, we realized we were way too late to save the mouse.

Now that might surprise some people why would we try to save a mouse.

Although I realize it is very normal for cats to hunt mice, I try and not kill a thing, flies, beetles, and even spiders; if I find them in the house I carry them out carefully and set them on the lawn.

(OK no-one said I was normal)

I got thinking that sometimes life can feel like we are being batted around with heartache, sickness, disappointment, unemployment, depression, the list goes on.

But God is never too late to save us. God is always on time.

God in in control of all the storms in our lives, and he knows how much we can handle.

The Jesus got into the boat and started across the lake with his disciples. Suddenly, a terrible storm came up, with waves breaking into the boat. But Jesus was sleeping. The disciples went to him and woke him up shouting “Lord save us! We're going to drown” And Jesus said “Why are you afraid? You have so little faith!” Then he stood up and rebuked the the wind and waves, and suddenly all was calm. The disciples just sat there in awe. “Who is this” they asked themselves. “Even the wind and waves obey him!”

Matthew 8:23-27 NLT

Eight years ago I came to Christ when the waves in my life were breaking over my boat, and I had nothing left but tears, and sorrows. I still get storms, but they are easier to get through knowing my God is in control and cares about everything that is happening in my life.
