Day 3 - Meow

Meow, meow, meow. It is the noise that reverberates throughout our minivan. Not constantly, intermittently, just enough time to allow for a bit of hope that they have stopped and gone to sleep – meow.

I have never been a cat person, never mind cat lover; cats exist only to catch their weight in mice each week. I have never spent a cent on a cat beside for food and only the cheapest at that. But for five days I will share the inside of a minivan with two cats which I have spent hundreds of dollars to neuter. I will have to rearrange everything at night to accommodate these cats. Move our food to the front seats and  block the front seats with cardboard; put out a litter box and give the cats the run of the van and then in the morning reverse the whole process, including the privilege of cleaning their litter box – meow.  

Why? Because my daughter loves them – that’s all! All my adverse feelings toward cats is voided by my love for my daughter and her love for these two cats – meow.  The things you do for love! I wonder if God’s anger toward rebellious humanity is voided by his love for his son, and his son’s love for us? The things God did for love – wow. – HJK

  1. Good job on the blog! No regrets is what you said last week at 'my' birthday party. I admire you for making such a radical change in your life - most people never get past the dreaming stage.

    I was reminded this week that God is like the rudder on a ship - He guides us when we are moving forward... Keep trucking!!
