Pipy
What a cat!
Lord, You must have a great sense of humor.
A tiny, skinny, grey-tiger pipsqueak of a kitten attacked us as we walked by a field of lush green. He was all legs, fur and purr in his insistence
that we take him home.
Poor little thing. Who knew when he had last eaten, so at least we could
give him a saucer of milk…and hope he’d travel elsewhere.
After all, we already had one stray who ruled the roost and
no one wanted to mess with Samantha.
So we’d be foolish introduce the two of them.
But we went bonkers over this kitten.
He immediately showed us his tenacity, antics and his no-nonsense attempt to win us over - and it worked.
He began to grow and put on weight and soon Pipsqueak became Pipy for short and it fit his personality to a “T”.
Within weeks we suffered a tragic loss.
One of our children died by suicide.
We fell into a deep pit of sorrow and never thought we’d climb out
into the sunshine ever again.
But all through our sorrow, Pipy delighted us with his game of
hide n’ seek or tearing up the stairs licky-de split and
sliding around the corner on the tile floor as if
he was being chased by a real tiger.
It has been several years now since Pipy found us
and we still can’t stop laughing at this cat!
It wasn’t long before we realized that God created Pipy just for us.
His timing was “purr-fect”. We needed a break from grief and Pipy provides plenty of comic relief.
How great is our God! Who would think He would care or bother
with a scrawny kitten!
He not only bothered, He made sure that Pipy had plenty of personality
to help keep our hearts light with joy and laughter.
Thank You, God.
You think of everything – even the tiny details.
I just love You for that.
