Oh My! T is for Trouble!!

T is for Trouble!
KT is for Kenny Trouble!!
How long do you think it took Kenny to remove these 8 tassels?

Where did they come from?
Oh, my poor pillow!!
Four tassels gone from each end!!!
I was up in my sanctuary having my peaceful time in prayer, Bible study, and devotionals. And Kenny?
He was barking at Bob to come play with him!
Bob didn’t see him sitting by the door asking to go out. A dump in the floor was the consequence.
Oh my!!!

Kenny sure can get into trouble when we don’t pay attention to him.

We need to keep our noses alert to Kenny trouble!

How about you?
Do you spell trouble with a capital T when you’re ignored?

Yup, me, too!

Facing Trials

In the journey of faith, we encounter various trials that test our strength, resilience and patience. The Bible reminds us that facing troubles is part of life, and rather than shunning them, we can embrace them as opportunities for growth. These challenges, while tough at the moment, can refine our character and deepen our reliance on God. By reflecting on Bible verses about troubles, we can find encouragement and hope, realizing that God walks with us every step of the way. Our “Oh My!” can change to “Oh Thanks!” as we turn in prayer with those trials. God, will You play with Kenny?

“Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.” – James 1:2-3

“And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.” – 1 Peter 5:10

Ah yes… God will make us strong and steadfast. But God, will You restore my pillow?
And what about this rambunctious Kenny? Oh my, will You send over a playmate for him?
Oh, and while You are at it, will you send over a buyer for our kayak? It’s too heavy for Bob to manage it these days. We took it down from its hooks on the garage ceiling… and it’s sitting outside waiting for the right person to come and buy it … and enjoy many years of kayaking fun (just as we have).

Kenny would love to go out on Ennis Lake with it. Wouldn’t you?
Oh my! I need to do my French lesson
and this pup wants to play.
Come play with him!!

Sending playful fun your way.
Hugs, too…

  1. I’m tempting to come over and play with Kenny, but I doubt I could keep up with his energy level.

    Kenny adds joy to the homestead.
    He is super fun!

  3. You knew you would be in for all this, which makes your welcoming him all the more commendable

    • Thank you, Derrick. Yes, we’ve had at least 5 other Bostons in our 63 years together… so we were pretty aware of the energy level of this breed!

  4. Kenny is adorable, but sure looks to be a little handful… Keeping you both on your toes :-D…. <3 Wonderful videos Jan…
    Sending you much love and a Happy Easter my friend, just in case I do not get around to you again before its been and gone….

    Sending much love and Blessings… xx <3 <3 <3 xx

  5. Jan, thank you for sharing this update about Kenny. I’ve been wondering how you and Bob are getting along with him. I can relate to the need to keep an eye on him as Colleen and I have watched our younger Ohio daughter’s small dog . . . she can be more than a bit mischievous.

  6. Whew he sure is a ball of energy. I hope things get better. Thanks for sharing.
