Do not feel you have committed the unpardonable sin. If you had committed it, you wouldn't even care.
"Every desire for truth and purity, every conviction of our own sinfulness, is an evidence that (God's) Spirit is moving upon our hearts.". Steps to Christ, 26, Ellen G White

The god that atheists detest...
The God that atheists detest, I don't like either.
The God that I love is the loving, truthful, kind and gentle God that I've known for many years.
He watches over me with love and care and protection. He gives me a guardian holy angel 24/7/365.
I love my God because He first loved me. He is my Heavenly Father and His Son Jesus Christ.

Peace of Mind
There will never come a time when God's love for us will lessen. He will always hear our prayers and supply our needs. He will always be our refuge. His wisdom and power are always available to us.
Peace of mind is always found by trusting Him. God always thinks of us, cares for us, there is no need to worry.
Based on Your Bible and You, 138, Arthur S Maxwell, Pacific Press Publishing Association, 1959

Fun-Loving Timmy
Being pet-less since 1976 we finally decided to adopt a kitten named Timothy. Timothy cried all the way home, but it was really fun having a kitten!
The first week at our home Timmy jumped on the coffee table into Andy’s toast with jelly! Later, tiny Tim jumped into the toilet as it was flushing and luckily we were there to save him from going down the drain!
Tim, being all boy, liked to help Andy with carpentry work including hammers; you can imagine how hard it was for Andy to hammer with Timmy constantly pressing his nose against the nail! Uncovering a furnace vent, the next thing we knew Timmy was stuck inside!
We have handles on our doors rather than knobs, which is a mistake because Timmy can open any door he chooses. If guests are in the bathroom Timmy will open the door, bare his teeth and run off! Timmy is not dumb, but he is weird! Another time Timmy opened a door to the outside! We searched all over the yard, but it was already dark…..then I felt a furry beast crawling up my leg under my nightgown…. I screamed and the culprit was…...you guessed it, Timothy!
While we were painting the bedroom, Timmy decided to sneak in and walk in the paint tray. Prancing around the room, he left white paw prints all over the blue carpet and then rubbed his face, sides and tail against the freshly painted walls! Timmy was promptly given a bath and refrained from any more painting tricks.
At exactly 10:00 p.m. Timmy likes to be put into his bed and have a fuss made over him. One evening, due to company, we forgot the routine and Timmy came into the living room every few minutes to remind us. At 10:25 p.m. we still had not put Tim to bed, so being resourceful, he got even. Getting out a pair of dirty underwear from the hamper, Tim proudly pranced around our guests carrying his prize! Our guests roared with laughter, we turned red, and Timothy was promptly put to bed!
Despite all his trouble making, Timmy is loved. How much more does God love us despite all our trouble making!

Buffy the Kitten - My Nurse
In 1968, due to orthopedic surgery, I was completely bed-ridden for two months so was allowed to adopt a kitten!
Since a friend's cat had kittens I chose an orange kitten named Buffy to be my companion, actually Buffy chose me! As soon as I sat on my friend's floor to inspect the kittens, Buffy, an nine week old crawled right into my lap and would not leave. So actually Buffy chose me!
Buffy had an uncanny sense about my needs for he stayed by my side 24 hours a day. Every morning, at exactly 7:00 a.m., he would awaken me by first meowing, then by sitting on my stomach, then by sitting on my chest, then by patting my nose, and finally by sitting on my face! Quickly I learned to wake up before this last step!
God was so good and kind to give me such a loving companion!

God's Precious Animals
In training animals I verbally correct only when necessary, and praise and love them constantly showing them respect. The pets return my love and respect more than one hundred percent.
Example: Being very ill, I passed out on the floor. Regaining conscientiousness I found my pets doing their best to help me. Timmy the cat was lying over my left ankle, Ivory the cat was laying over my right ankle, and Ingrid the dog was lying by my side. Only when I felt better did the animals leave their post. God uses even little animals to help.
"The intelligence displayed by many animals approaches so closely to human intelligence that it is a mystery.
". The animals see and hear and love and fear and suffer. They use their organs far more faithfully than many human beings use theirs. They manifest sympathy and tenderness toward their companions in suffering.
" Many animals show affection for those who have charge of them, far superior to the affection shown by some of the human race. They form attachments for man which are not broken without great suffering to them."
Ministry of Healing pages 315-316 by Ellen G White

The Story of the Good Samaritan according to me
There once was a young woman who was walking in a rough neighborhood (sin). Suddenly she was mugged by a gang (Satan and his demons). They hurt her physically and emotionally, and left her for dead in the gutter.
After awhile a church member walked by. The young woman called out for help, but the church member cursed her and continued walking.
Then the head elder walked by. The young woman pleaded with him to please help her, but he stuck his nose in the air and pretended not to see her.
Then the pastor walked by and was disgusted to see her lying in the gutter. He too passed her by.
Finally, Jesus Himself walked by and when the young woman weakly called out for help Jesus immediately stopped and helped her. He didn’t call her a “stupid idiot” for walking in such a rough neighborhood, but He did dress her physical and emotional wounds and carried her to the nearest Inn and continued to care for her.
The next day, before He left, Jesus told the innkeeper to feed the young woman and wash her wounds, saying He would repay the innkeeper when He returned.
“Inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.” - Jesus

Parents Need
Without human effort Divine effort is in vain. God will work with power when in trustful dependence upon Him parents will awake to the sacred responsibility resting upon them and seek to train their children aright.
Adventist Home, p 206, Ellen G White
The harder the battle, the greater their [parents] need of help from their heavenly Father, and the more marked will be the victory gained.

Love & Care
…the greater our love for God, the stronger should be our love and care for those whom He has given us. The Saviour never taught idleness and abstract devotion, to the neglect of the duties lying directly in our pathway.
