HEALING

Not a great picture of the special moon which was bigger than usual and also there will be a blood moon and an eclipse to-night.

My camera does not take good pictures of moons which is disappointing.  It is amazing.

The sun was beautiful as we drove to Carol and Panteli's with that autumn glow.

We planned to attend church but we discovered that we are being invaded with mice and we needed to do what we can to rid our home of these pests.

Thankful for the beauty of nature.

I am thankful for all the ways in which we can receive healing.  Medicine is good to get rid of those nasty bugs and pain pills help rid us of some of our pain.

There is healing for our anxieties with the help of friends and counselors.  I know Carol will do a good job because she is so kind and compassionate and also very knowledgeable. Modern medicine and psychology are so helpful and for me there is healing in prayer as well.

Healing prayer that can take a person back into their trauma and invites Jesus to remove the fear and the hurt and the anger and bitterness replace it with an inner peace. 

"We live in a fallen world where illness, suffering and pain are a part of the fabric of our existence."
-  Kenneth Swanson

We can learn the words of prayer and the sounds of music have healing powers too as well as medicine and counseling.

So how did you find out you were being invaded by mice?

oh oh, mice ...maybe time for a cat? Be sure and check your car too...we had them nest in our van under the folding seats...autopac wanted to write it off due to the danger of Hanta virus and the high cost of sanitizing the whole vehicle...thousands of dollars, but we cleaned it carefully and all is well. We check it every few weeks though, for more nests. It is the deer mouse that carry the Hanta virus...and we have lots of them due to feeding the birds. The cats keep the population under control...we have lots of neighbour cats and we have Gilbert our cat.
It is that time of year.Good luck!

Love, Nancy

I found we had mice by checking the end of the chesterfield where they go.
They also were in the drawer where I keep the dish cloths. Yuk.
Now I know why all our neighbors have cats.
I know I should want to get a cat but do not feel like it right now.
I think if we can't control them we just need to get an exterminator.
Dad filled in a big hole from outside but it was too hard for him to do.
More and more we just need to start asking for help.
A beautiful but miserable day.
love mom
