Two large cats have adopted us, I see. One is an orange cat, and the other is black and white. Howard calls them Tom and Jerry. Every morning they appear at the kitchen door, looking hopefully for scraps of food. They are particular, however. They disdain a bowl of milk, a saucer of gravy, or any vegetable, but anything with meat scraps is acceptable.
Animals are so interesting and amusing, not to mention their other qualities. Lately I've seen television episodes which are amazing! In one of them, a pig saved a woman's life! It was a pet house pig, and one day the owner had a stroke. When the pig couldn't wake her up, it ran outside and lay down in the path of any passerby. Finally, someone followed it to the house, where an ambulance was called and took her to the hospital.
In another feature, a parrot saved a man's life. The bird heard the man calling "Help" from an overturned tractor. From some distance the parrot's owner heard the bird calling "Help, help," in it's croaky voice. Ignoring it for awhile, the guy and his friend went to check on the parrot, which clammed up immediately. Thinking nothing was wrong, they began to hear faint cries of help from the pasture. The parrot had relayed the calls for help which the owner could not hear!
These were old presentations from "It's a Miracle," hosted by Richard Thomas of "The Waltons." One dramatic story was of a woman debilitated by multiple sclerosis. She was at the point of death after trying everything until a bee keeper persuaded her to submit to a bee sting! Willing to try anything at this point, she agreed and immediately felt something different. Welcoming the bee stings, before long she was walking and leading a normal life again!
God's creations are incredible! Seemingly everything has a purpose that is largely undiscovered by humanity. What a marvelous, indescribable Father we have in Heaven. I think I'll give Tom and Jerry an extra treat!
