“It’s a small world, but I wouldn’t want to have to paint it.” – Comedian, Seven Wright.
This world of ours spins in tighter circles than we think. Never in my life would I have ever thought the people whom I served with a joyful heart would be serving myself. For a couple years a served at my church in the children’s ministry as a very part time child care provider for toddlers age walking to about Two years old so that their mothers might attend bible study classes.
Over the years, many of the families have found membership in other churches, yet, some of the mothers remember the man whom, “Took good care of their children”. Recently; as a I arrived at a local church for food and fellowship with local homeless friends; I was blessed to have been recognized one such mother of two children whom I haven’t seen in over five years. Though awkward, it brought joy to my heart to know the small impact I made on their lives had not gone forgotten.
I could borrow a cliche like, “What goes around comes around” or “Treat others as you would have them treat yourself”. I prefer, “You reap what you so” and “But the fruit of the Spirit is: love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faith, meekness, self-control; against such things there is no law.”
Call it karma or whatever you’d like, the bottom line is; the things we do or not, people we help and the people we hurt today will come back to us as a time best suited for it’s purpose. The Lord GOD in heaven above will chose to use our moments of indiscretion to teach us a life lesson or our good works to reward us at a time when it most needed.
Greetings and Thanks from Mr. Henry Q. Snowball Esq.
It is with great joy, I am here to take a brief moment to thank you for your love and generosity. When I was found, I was a starving Ferrell cat just days away from passing on to the great field above. But you had compassion for me and with the actions of a few kind people, I’m on the road to recovery. I didn’t care much for the doctors visit; but I feel better; I can even eat dry food now. I enjoyed the bachelor pad, no one to fight with for food and water. I miss the litter box, sure better than “roughing it”. Even the medicine wasn’t too bad. Unfortunately check out time came much too soon. Would you believe me if I said I am still sick (cough, cough, wink), didn’t think you would. All good things must come to an end; “Arrivederci mio amico, Goodbye my friend”. Oh, who am I kidding, I live under the house. I know when I have it good. I have plenty of wet/dry food, water, I even get pulled chicken and the wayward mouse. I’m camera shy, but I will send a picture as soon as I can. I thank you from the top of my ears to the tip of my tail for all the love you have given to me and all my extended family.
With Love,
Henry Q. Snowball Esq.
