CONSISTENT LOVE
Her
name is Boo-tiful Paddy Paws, and she is a kitty who lives in our barns
or any place she chooses to hide. I see her paw prints in the snow,
and every
time I come home - there they are again. She has come to me on varied
wing, and I now find her entrenching in my soul. Yes, she does live in
or near the barn and consistently walks through the white, crispy snow
to reach our bird feeder.
The
feeder is filed with delicious goodies from our table, and sits right
outside our kitchen window. One day I looked out, and there she was -
all black
with white bib and boots. She was eating the bread we had put there
earlier. She doesn't seem to bother the birds, unless she does it on the
sly. One never knows!
We
had to put our Husky Pakia down a few months ago, and she seems to have
come to visit - yes, out of hunger, but also through the unseen
knowledge that
lifts through the air and in our sub/conscious worlds to bring us
comfort. When I come home from a shopping trip, I call her by the name I
have given her. It is my hope that she will learn to value my voice,
and be less afraid of our presence in her world.
In
this world of changing venue, I respect the fact that all kinds of
disastrous things are now occurring. I also respect the fact that I
have been given
a gift. Perhaps she is a neighbor's kitten. Perhaps someone negligently
dropped her off. But in the meantime, she brings joy to my life - and I
am considerably blessed by her gentle presence.
A
beautiful red cardinal came to visit the bird feeder the other day, and
after he lifted - wings sparkling in the white snow falling, five stark
blue jays
came to feed - and then there are the squirrels and the little song
sparrows - sometimes a dozen at a time. It seems there is always enough
for all. Our grandson told me that he actually saw a young buck
standing in our front yard in the early morning as
he waited for the school bus. There are diversified paw prints all over
our yard. How interesting!
May
the peace which passes all understanding continue to bless your lives,
and despite all rumors to the contrary, we are beginning to heal upon
this Planet
called Hope. There are times when the current mode of delivery claims
only the negative. In my world, this is not one of them. Words of faith
resonate within my heart. May they help to reflect upon the Promised
Way, acknowledging fully the benefit of One
life in Christ.
A new year beckons - "Let there be peace on earth - and let it begin with me - and thee."
