Blog Post 16 Minty

Hi everyone I’m Minty and I live with Cheryl and Perley. They call me the magician and I am delighted to be a member of the St. Matthew by the Lake pet family.  I guess I should say a little about why they call me the magician.  You see, I have this wonderful, at least I think it is wonderful, ability to vanish in a flash.  Some of my favorite words are “now you see me”  “now you don’t”  Wouldn’t it be great if we could make some of those issues going on in our lives and our country disappear in a flash like I do around the house.  Think about all those things we might want to go away, COVID-19, cancer and racism are all at the top of my list and I suspect you have more that you would add to my list.  Unfortunately we can’t make them all disappear.  It takes work and cooperation and powers beyond what I have as a furry kitty or what you have as a human.  The good news is that we have our triune God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit whom we can lean on.  We can bring all of our cares about the big things in our lives as well as those things that annoy us to God in prayer.  God will listen and give us strength to endure whatever it is that we want to disappear from our lives.
