Well Furiday is here and we’s all welkumin’ in da weekend. We was gunna take today off, but it’s another special day in da Cat Blogosphere so we kuldn’t let it go wiffout sayin’ a little sumfin’. You know when we got started in Blogville we knew absolutely nuffin’. We don’t member exactly how we furst found out ‘bout BlogPaws or da Cat Blogospere, but we found ‘em purretty early on. While BlogPaws is a community fur all pet bloggers and has things like conventions and such; da Cat Blogosphere is a smaller group of just us Cat bloggers.
Da Cat Blogosphere is a place where we can go and link up and see other cat bloggers posts as well. It’s a place dat lists all da special days we celebrate here in Blogville. And when there’s a birthday or blogoversary or even a death, you know you can count on it bein’ posted at da Cat Blogosphere. But hey, it’s not run by a machine. Sumpawdy has to be respawnsible fur puttin’ all dat infurmation together and postin’ it fur all of us to see. And let me tell you, it’s not an easy job. We only have our blog to keep up wiff and we get behind and furget things here all da time.
We thought we shuld give a little background ‘bout da Cat Blogosphere cuz altho’ we found it early on, we’s recently talked wiff more than a few kitty bloggers who didn’t know it was here. Paw on any Cat Blogosphere in red to go right on over and check it out fur yous self. Ifin you have any special days you want listed on da calendar, all you have to do is submit ‘em. You know like birthdays, gotchadays, blogoversaries and da like. And dat brings me back to da part ‘bout it not bein’ a machine. There’s a real live purrson who takes care of all those calendar listings and postin’ da daily link up.
Who’s dat you ask? Y it’s Little Isis’ daddy Mo of course. And da special day me was talkin’ ‘bout earlier? Well today be Mo’s birthday. Dat’s right, da cat man behind da Cat Blogosphere is havin’ a birthday. We wanna say a meowsy big Fank You Mo. You’s membered to list our blogoversary yesfuday and our birthdays and gotchadays too. Just as you member fur all da other cat bloggers. We also wanna wish ya’ a very Happy Birthday. We sure hope it’s Purrfect.
As we do wiff every post, we’s linkin’ up at da Cat Blogosphere today and we’s also joinin’ Rascal and Rocco fur da weekly Pet Parade. Go by and give Mo a meow and a purr, we know he’d purreciate it. Keepin’ up wiff all us kitties is a lot of work, and he duz a great job of it.
Do you member how and how far into your bloggin’ career you found out ‘bout da Cat Blogosphere?
Till da next time…………………………………..Be Blest!!!
Meownin’ sissy. Is it time to wake up mommy yet? (Dezi stretches and yawns)
It’z Christmas Dezi. It’z fur shur time to wake up mommy. (Lexi stretches out her arm and pats mommy on the leg with her dainty paw)
Christmas? Oh sissy me luvs Christmas. (Dezi stands totally awake and walks onto mommy’s chest and starts massaging and purring. Then she starts swooshing her fluffy tail back and forth over mommys face)
(Mommy slowly opens her eyes and speaks) Good morning girls. Merry Christmas. I love you both sooooooo much. I’m the blestest mommy in the universe. (Dez continues to swoosh her fluffy tail) Dezi, please stop swooshin’ I’d rather not have a mouth full of fur this morning. (Dezi stops swooshing and crawls off mommy’s checst and settles in to massage her arms and legs while Lexi gets the wheelchair positioned)
Oh meowllo everypawdy and Merry Christmas to you all. By now most of you have started celebrating with your own traditions. We thought today we would share our Christmas traditions with you. And afur me furgets, weez joinin da Pet Parade as we do every weekend. Our meownin’ starts out just like any other day, but soon da traditions will begin. After we all get around and sissy and me have our breakfast and mommy has a cup of coffee or two we settle in to start our celebrations. Mommy usually tells da story but today she sed I kuld. So pull up a chair and grab you sum coffee or your drink of choice.
Open da Bible to da story mommy, you know da one ‘bout God luvvin’ us so much dat He gave His only Son so dat whoever believed in Him kuld have eternal life. John 3:16 (paraphrased) And then da one ‘bout how Jesus got here.
So, a long time ago in a place very far away, lived a girl and her betrothed. Dat’s a fiance` in case you was wunnerin’. Well peeps had kind of lost site of God and doin’ right. But God knew all was not lost and decided to send His only Son to earth to save us all from sin and hell. The very furst Christmas purresent was born, literally. Happy Birffday Jesus. But Jesus isn’t just fur Christmas, He’s fur da whole year fru. Jesus was born in a lowly stable full of anipals. Da furmily didn’t have much, but they had lots and lots of luv. And so long as you have luv and God in your life, you can make it fru anyfin’. We are so blest cuz we have each other and now all our furiends from all round da world cuz of da innernets.
So after mommy tells us da story, we sing lots of carols and songs together. And then we settle in to purray and thank God fur all da blessings in our lives and His gift to da world. And then we’ll be openin’ up all those pawsum purresents we got. And as we open each one we’ll say a little purrayer askin’ God to bless them fur includin’ us. And then we’ll all snuggle together and take a little nap. Da day will be over afur we know it, but next year when it comes around again, you’ll find us doin’ da very same thing. There’s nuffin’ wrong with a little tradition.
Heavenly Father, we come to You in the Name of Jesus and we wanna thank you for all da many blessings in our lives. Thank You fur sendin’ Your Son, dat we might have life abundantly. Thank you dat we have today together and that we can share Your love with others. Thank you soooooo much fur all our wunnerful furiends and furmily Lord, and purrlease send your angels to watch over them and pour out Your blessings on them. Many are sick in body. Father, we ask dat You wuld send them healing or give da doctors da knowledge to help them. Many are lonely and/or depressed. We thank You fur wrapping them in Your arms of comfurt and rest and giving them peace. And Lord too many are meeting today suffering from sadness due to a recent loss. Father we know dat You know best, but da hurt can’t be reasoned with so we ask You to give comfort where none is found. Lord we thank You fur caring fur all Your cweations and keeping us all safe from harm. Lord me and mommy sure do thank You fur givin’ us another year with sis Lexi and ask dat you continue to keep her and give her strength to continue on. We thank you so much fur all those who have helped us this past year with money, purrayers, gifts and luv. We thank you fur returning da blessing ten fold fur them. Thank you fur helping me get and stay well. Dat Cystitis was no fun. Lord we thank you fur usin’ us to bless others and givin’ us da ability to bless. We thank You fur purrvidin’ peace where there’s war, healin’ among da sick, comfurt to da lonely, guidance to da lost, and thank you fur keeping Your hands on each and every one of us. God, You know da needs whether they be big or small and we thank you fur meeting them. We ask Your blessings and wisdom go with us in da coming New Year so dat we can grow and spread more luv to more people. We ask and purray these things in Jesus Name believing, and we give You all da purraise and all da glory furever, Amen
