Meditations from the heart

Growing up I just didn’t get it. How could people become so obsessed with their pets. They dressed them up (I didn’t get it) they talked to them like they were their own children (I didn’t get it) they bought them gifts (yep again I didn’t get it) I was the one who use to say animals don’t have feelings and daughter would try to convince me yes yes animals do have feelings. Please don’t hate me. Don’t throw anything at me quiet yet as I said I use to believe. Then enters Lucky. The cutest cat I have ever seen. With her white body and black stripes and black face she took my heart and I havent seen it since. She was a gift from aunt and truly my aunt was the vessel that God used to bless my life. It was 2018 one of the darkest years my family had faced. We lost my uncle and a month later my mom. But God brings what we need when we need it. And her name was Lucky. She was my uncles cat and she needed a home. And she found one. She nestled deep within our hearts and their she still resides. Lucky taught me so much but the greatest thing she taught me was unconditional love but not in the way you may think. Lucky was a one woman cat and the first few nights we had her Caleb stayed up all night petting and reassuring her that she was safe. She was his cat and that was just the way it was. She wanted nothing to do with me but I loved her. That was a first for me. To love someone or something that did not love me back. She taught me a lot. She taught me to invest and to give of yourself to make someone feel safe. She taught me the purety of love just by being her. She brought so much love so much comfort so much companionship to our life in a time when we really needed it and she is just reminder that God is always there and brings the comfort we need through the dark seasons of death. God was there through a cat named Lucky🐱
