Unlikely Friends

Meet Marmalade, our newest addition to an ever growing menagerie of furry friends. My daughter adopted her about 3 weeks ago and the bunny wasted no time in getting to know our family. We soon discovered that our cat, Willow, had become her trusted friend.

They hit it off right from the beginning.

Whenever friends or family come over, they all seem to congregate in our 16 year old daughter Hayley's room. It is so inviting, cool (both in decor and temperature) and a relaxing atmosphere. So, guess where Willow introduced Marmalade to first? You got it!

"Marmalade, I told you this was a cool house and family," said Willow, "these humans really take care of their furry friends. Hey, but keep that under wraps, we don't want the other animals in the neighborhood to hear about this. I'm telling you, this place is too good to be true. When it's cold outside, we get to come inside where it is warm and when it is really hot outside, we are extremely comfortable here in the air-condition. Come, let's you and a take a quick cat-nap before dinner."

Ahhhhhhh, pure bliss and relaxation...not a care in the world.

"You are right," said Marmalade, "I like this place....I think I will burrow under this blanket awhile before dinnertime. Care to join me?"

"I just think I will," Willow sleepily replied with a huge yawn, "right off hand, I can't think of anything pressing I have to do."

Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
