My eyes are overflowing with love and gratitude, even while sitting at my desk at work. This is perfect, as is God and how he writes thru you. I will post it in the Chelo sticky that was created on our cattle dog site for her daily inspirations and hugs for her from around the world. Thank you thank you thank you!

Let's go to the Father on behalf of Chelo together. Join your prayers with mine for God has said that where two or more are gathered in His name, He will be there. (Abba means "daddy" in Hebrew, I think God is OK with us calling him that.)

Father God, my Abba, thank-you that we can approach Your throne of grance and ask of You. Thank-you for Jesus, whose death on the cross and resurrection from death paid the price for sin and took sin away so it no longer stands between You and us. Praise You that we do not have to DO anything for that Grace, but ask Christ into our hearts and accept that free gift of grace. Praise You that we do not even have to understand it to receive it! Abba, in Your mercy and Your great wisdom, You have told me of Chelo. We are Your children running into Your open arms to ask of you on behalf of our sister Chelo, Abba. I ask that You would manifest Your presence, letting Yourself be known to her. Father, You crafted her very body and soul and You know her to the tiniest molecule of her being. Father, you know when even a single hair of her head falls. She is Your wondrous and beautiful creation. Hold her in Your hands, Father. Let her rest on your chest, Abba. Give her Your peace that surpasses all understanding. You have promised us that You will never leave us nor forsake us...manifest this palpably to Chelo, Abba. Whisper it to her soul, Abba. If it would suit you, Father, we would ask that You work a miracle and a wonder in her body. Fill her with Your strength! We ask that You would give her a healing. In this, as in all things, we submit to Your perfect wisdom, Father, and if such is not in Your perfect plan...I beg that you would let Chelo fully realize Your perfect grace knowing that, as the apostle said, that having accepted Your grace, absence from this body is to be present with You for all eternity. Praise You, Father. We ask all of this in Jesus most perfect and holy name. Amen.

If she wants to do so, I would be honored to write to her.

Hi, there...and welcome! I won't be able to chat much, but I usually do check in once a day, while I unwind before bed, (in the mornings). Til later, -Cyra

Murphys is just above Angels Camp, isn't it? If so, it's about an hour from here. If you look up Don Pedro Resevoir, we live less than 2 miles from it. Actually, we are situated between Lakes McClure & Don Pedro & we love it here. It seems lots of people from San Jose are heading up into these hills & I understand why. The peace & quiet as well as room to stretch. The house across the street from me is owned by a family from San Jose, they use it as a vacation house/weekend getaway & live in San Jose during the weeek. You couldn't drag me kicking & screaming back into the city :-) We only have an acre but, we deffinately want more.....lots more. It always seems to be that way, doesn't it?

Have you ever had chickens before? If not, be sure to have a coop for them, as we have coyotes & bobcats and mountain lions in these hills. Red tail hawks & owls are sometimes an issue too, if they are hungry enough. As for the goats, they will & do eat everything!!! A girlfriend of mine had one for several years & always had problems with her (the goat) eating EVERYTHING!! I'm sure if you fence the garden in, you shouldn't have a problem.

Okay, I'm done rambling now :-) Good luck on all your ventures & I hope to "talk" to you again soon. Enjoy the site & again, welcome to the "family."

welcome fellow N. Ca. resident :-) Welcome to the IDig family. This site is a super place for all kinds of info & it's chocked full of super great people. Good luck on your ranch & garden.
