The Blessing Train

 

 

Blessing Train with FriendsThere’s still purrlenty of track left fur you.

 

 

 

          I’s know sissy. It just warms mine’s heart to see everypawdy join in. Our dear furiends from Meezers Mews and Terrieristical Woofs, Pipo and Dalton, joined us. Ya’ know, their house was recently broken into and some horrible peep(s) stole their things. In spite of it all, they’re so Blest that nopawdy was hurt. We don’t know how they do it, but they never miss a birthday or gotchaday in the blogosphere. We are so Blest to call ya’ll furiends. Fanky fanks fur joinin’ us. And, we’re keepin’ ya’ll in our purrayers. Now their computer was stolen, so we helped them make their boxcar. Rest assured that had awnty Ingrid, aka  Petcretary made it, it would be much more elaborately decorated.

They’re just the bestest Raena. Next up is our amazin’ Scottish furiends from Spike The Scottish Black Cat, Spike and awnty Christine. They are just the sweetest furiends with hearts of gold. Black Cats rock, and Spike is proof of how pawsum they can be. We look forward to many more years of furiendship with ya’ll. True furiends are to be cherished, and we feel so  Blest to call ya’ll furiends. Fanks fur hoppin’ on. 

  

Spike and Christine boxcar

 

 

 

          Oh sissy, I’s just luvs them. Next to hop on board is a dear furiend we met thru our articles at the Daily Mews, awnty Vonda. She has 15 kitties and counting that she cares fur. She’s not a blogger, but has 2 angel kitties on the old Catster, Sassy and Pepper. She sent green papers that helped mommy rescue me from that horrible cage in that stinky place I’s was born into. You’d be hard pressed to find a truer furiend. She’s always there with a kind word or purrayer. We’re so Blest to call you furiend. Fanky fanks fur hoppin’ on. 

 

Vonda, Sassy and Pepper boxcar

 

 

 

She’s been so pawsum to all of us Raena. Our bestest Persian pal Valentine, from Noir Kitty Mews added another boxcar full of Blessings this week. He meowed ‘bout his family and how Blest he was to have his. And he’s so right, family is a furtastic Blessing. We count Val and his family as pawrt of ours too. Unner all that fur you’d find kindness a heart full of luv to share with all he meets. We’re so Blest to call ya’ll furiends. Fanks fur joinin’ us fur this amazin’ ride.

          They are all such a Blessing sissy. Last but certainly not least this week is awnty Ellen and the kitties of 15 and Meowing. Now some of ya’ already know this, but fur those who don’t, awnty Ellen is mine’s God awnty. You know, kind’a like a God mother. See, back when mommy saved me and befur she and sissy told the world, they told awnty Ellen. Awnty Ellen made me mine’s furst ever toys and nip mat to welcome me into the world. But it’s not just me, awnty Ellen does so many pawsum things fur all in the blogosphere. Any kitty who’s ever tried her Made With Luvs toys and/or mats know just how talented and generous she is. And, how much luvs she puts out. We’re so Blest to call you furiends. Fanky fanks joinin’ us. And, don’t furget, there’s still time to get Prancie’s Prayer fur the young’un’s in your life.

Blest Sunday: The Blessing Train Is On The Move

MeOW  RaenaBelle, quit jumpin’ on me. It’s time fur our Blest Sunday posty, and kittens is me ever x’cited. Did ya’ see? Our Blessing Train is gettin’ longer. We’ve had several furiends hop on board and add their boxcar to ours. Me hopes lots more will join in the Blessing Train fun. 

 

Dezi sits atop the cat tree while Raena sits on the small perch

 

 

 

 

          Me too, sissy. There’s purrlenty of box cars and lots of track left. I’s would luvs to see our Train go ‘round the world and back again, wouldn’t you?

 

 

The Blessing Train

 

 

 

Yep Raena, that would be purretty cool. We’ll tell ya’ how to join in a minute, but furst, let’s take a look at who hopped on this past week. (In no purrticular order x’cept how the fotos saved to our computer) 

 

Canadian Cats Boxcar

 

 

 

Our long time furiends from the Canadian Cats, Shoko, Tyebe and Budd jumped on the tracks and hooked up their boxcar. We’re so Blest to have ya’ll and fanks fur joinin’ in. Ya’ know, Tyebe and Budd are fairly new members of Fort Meezer and Budd be a handsum tabby. They keep awnty Jean and uncle Bill on their toes. Hearts of gold they have and they’re all a bit cheeky in their own ways. MOL We’re so happy and Blest to call ya’ll furiends. 

 

          I’s just luvs them sissy. 

 

You luv everypawdy Raena.  

 

Feline Cafe boxcar

 

 

 

          I’s do sissy. But that’s a good thing, right? Anyways, next up is our sweet furiends from the Feline Café, Scooby, Opie, Zeke, Marigold and their daddy (uncle) Greg. Aren’t they gawjus? What an amazin’ little family they are. And just the sweetest cats and peep. Truer furiends you’ll never meet. Whether loungin’ ‘round the house or playin’ in their catio, we doubt there’s ever a dull moment at their place. We’re so glad ya’ll hopped on and hooked up. We’re so Blest to call ya’ll furiends. 

 

Valentine Boxcar

 

 

 

That we are, Raena, that we are. The last kit to hop onboard this week is the sweetest black Persian of the Blogosphere, Valentine from Noir Kitty Mews. Which reminds me of a Blessing we received this week. Fank you Val and awnty Kerry fur the Christmas gifts. Raena stuck her nose in the bag, but mommy snatched it away and told her not till Christmas. That Valentine ain’t just a handsum face tho’, he’s got a heart big as Texas and purrsonality too. We’re so Blest to call ya’ll furiends.  

 

Raena sits on cat tree with gift from Val and KerryFanky fank you Valentine and awnty Kerry.

 

 

 

          Sissy, we really are Blest with the bestest furiends in the universe. You know, true furiends know your flaws and luvs you anyways. Now that’s a Blessing. We are so Blest to have each other. And that’s our Blessing this week, Luvs. We know it sounds kind’a silly cuz everypawdy knows you have to have money to pay fur things you need like food and homes and cars and stuffs, but we truly believe that Luvs is the most ‘purrtant thing. 

 

Dezi n Raena check our Christmas gifts from Valentine and KerrySuch purretty wrapping’s we’ll hate to tear them up…NOT!!! Fank you.

 

 

 

Yep Raena, we do. Studies have been done that show humans can’t truly survive completely alone. And while peeps may try to say we kitties are solitary creatures, we thrive when we have the luv of a good purrson. We know that sometimes it comes off as ifin we’re purrfect and always get along. And that you’re doin’ somethin’ wrong ifin your kitties aren’t doin’ the same thing. But, we posted a couple of fotos the other day of us havin’ a “disagreement”. Mommy says in her eyes we are purrfect, and even when we have these minor spats, it’s all worth it when she sees us sharin’ a moment like the one below. We’re not really purrfect, but cuz mommy only sees us with eyes of luv, then to her, we are. 

 

Dezi sits on cat tree looking back at Raena on the ledgeHavin’ a disagreement.

Luv wins out.

 

 

 

          And cuz of the luvs she has fur us, we in turn luvs each other, right sissy?  

  

Red Box CarSave this foto and decorate it for yourself.

 

 

 

Yes Raena, you’re right. You can be a pest sometimes, but me luvs you anyways. Without luv, where would we be? We don’t wanna know, and we know ya’ll don’t either.  Now, let’s tell ya’ how to join the Blessing train fur yourself. We’ve had a few of you ask fur better instructions, so we’ll try. Ifin ya’ need more help, just send us an email and we’ll do what we can to get you linked up.

Blest Sunday: The Blessing Train Is Coming

MeOW  C’mon RaenaBelle, it’s Blest Sunday. Time to count our Blessings. And, since it’s also December, me thought it would be pawsum to bring back the Blessing Train fur our countdown to Christmas. Our sweet furiend Valentine said he would join us. Last year we counted down 12 days of Christmas; but there’s so much goin’ on ‘round the blogospere and the real world so me thought this year we would just run the train on Sundays. And…

 

Blest Sunday purple kitty clip art graphic

 

 

 

          Yeah sissy, I’s so x’cited. Anypawdy who wants to join up can post any days they wish, and each Sunday, we’ll add their car to ours. I’s would luvs it ifin we could make the Blessing Train go ‘round the world. 

 

Animated Blessing Train Engine

 

 

 

Me too Raena. To join the Blessing Train, all you have to do is post your Blessings. You know, whatever you’re grateful/Thankful fur and leave the link to your posty in the comments of our Blest Sunday postys. You can post  as many Blessings as you want or just once this month. And each Sunday, we’ll post your link along with your Blessing Train car so others can enjoy the ride.  You’ll find your box car below. You can decorate it any way you want. You may also take any of the train fotos you’d like fur your own posty.

 

Curious Raena sits on cat tree

 

 

 

          Oh sissy, this is gonna be so much fun. 

 

Yep Raena, me luvs it when our furiends get together to celebrate. Meowin’ of celebrations, we oughtta celebrate the fact that mommy’s feelin’ better. She even helped me with me’s audition tape fur the cat scouts choir. It’s a wonder we got anythin’ done what with you all up in her face and stuffs. 

 

          I’s just wanted to be in the recordin’ too sissy. Ya’ll looked so funny with your headfones on singin’ along to nuffin’. Least it sounded like nuffin’ from where I’s sat. I’s finally got close enuff to the headfones to hear the music.  It was kind’a like one of those recordin’ studios I’s see on tv, x’cept it was right here on the ranch (our apartment).

 

Dezi the Ragdoll Cat lays on the Pet Cot

 

 

 

When was that Raena? When you head butted the microphone or bit mommy’s nose? Anyways, in spite of all the furry inneruptions, we got me’s audition finished. We even had enuff time to check out some tracks fur mommy to record. Last time, we got some requests fur mommy to sing some country songs. Long ago in another life, mommy sang with several different bands. Things have changed a lot since then. But, we’ve picked out a few songs that we think everypawdy will like and we’re even addin’ a fun Christmas song. We’ll be postin’ those fur ya’ soon. 

 

          Does that mean more singin’ with the funny headfones sissy? 

 

Dezi lays on cat tree

 

 

 

Me isn’t sure how mommy’s gonna do it yet Raena, but whatever she does, it’s bound to fun. Me will say, mommy’s old country, but ifin ya’ have any requests, she’ll try to sing ‘em; just let us know in the comments below. 

 

          Mommy can sing anythin’, sissy. I’s luvs it when she sings to us. It makes me feel all warm and purry inside.  

 

Me too Raena. Well, me thinks we oughtta get the Blessing Train fired up. We also wanna fank awnty Susan fur her gifty. And me wants to fank all of you who sent green papers fur me’s Birthday/Gotchaday. Mommy says me’s gift should be here tomorrow. Me can’t hardly wait.

          Me either sissy. But, that’s not our Blessing fur the Train this week. Today, we’re givin’ Fanks fur all our pawsum furiends. All of you have made our lives so much better. 

 

Red Box CarHere’s a box car fur you to take and decorate any way you wish to add to

your posty. We’ll then add your boxcar to the train fur next week.

 

 

 

Yep Raena, furiends are one of the greatest gifts one can have. As we do each week, we’d like to remind you to take a minute today and every day to Give Thanks fur the Blessings in your lives and Thank you fur bein’ Blessings in ours.
