For all cat lovers

 

I spent my holidays with my German family in South Africa. It was the first time that I met my niece and nephews. After several Uno games I can now honestly say that I cannot believe what I lost out on over the last 11 years…

The children saw this beautiful cat just outside our accommodation, but they did not think she was very friendly.  They would run up to her to play or cuddle and then she would ‘attack’ them…  

We only saw the little kittens a few days later, and realized that she was being protective over her kittens.  Then we approached them a little slower and with food, and she would allow us a little closer,  but not too close!  

Maybe it was better that we could not come too close, because we would have taken one or two of the little ones home with us.  I know I would have taken the black one…  so beautiful; and those blue eyes.

These beautiful kittens were so blessed with the shield of love from their mother, just like we are blessed to have the shield of love from our heavenly father.

'But let all who take refuge in you rejoice;

let them sing joyful praises forever.

Protect them, so all who love your name may be filled with joy.

For you bless the godly, O Lord,

surrounding them with your shield and love.'

Psalm 5v11-12
