Lucky

Late one moonlit evening, my husband and I decided to take a leisurely bicycle ride.  As we were riding along a quiet street, we heard a cry sounding like a newborn babe.  Well, my husband stopped to see what it was.  I did not want to stop as I was preoccupied by the recent news I had gotten of my Mom having cancer which had spread to the liver. My husband did stop and called to me "It's a kitten"  and I asked him to bring it home for me.  He wrapped the kitten in his t-shirt and brought it to our home  Being only 3 weeks old I had to bottle-feed the kitten everyday, even coming home from work on lunch break to feed her.  Oh boy what a challenge she was.  However when it became time to give her away, that kitten whom we had now named Lucky.  I could not  give her away as I had realized God put her in my path that I might remember life goes on despite the fact that I was losing my Mom to cancer.  God DOES step in when life gets too hard in the most mysterious ways too.  Four years later I still have Lucky and she does remind me daily of His many blessings.
