A tiny, homeless kitten that’s been taken into Grace Shelter is a warm, furry bit of love that everyone adores. Grace Shelter is a place for people with special needs, and everyone there loves this kitten. This is the story of how the little kitten was given a loving home.
Last September, while Marcia, the Shelter manager, was on her way back to work from her lunch hour, a kitten ran past her and out into the street. She scooped the kitten up and carried it back to work with her.
Several of the people who spend time at Grace Shelter were sitting on the back deck, waiting for Marcia to return. When they saw her holding the tiny stray, they immediately fell in love with the kitten. Of course, the question was asked, “Can we keep her?”
Marcia posted signs in the area about the lost kitten, hoping the owner would come forward and claim his or her pet, but no one did. She asked the director of the Shelter if the kitten could stay there, and he agreed.
Now everyone has fallen in love with the kitten they’ve named Gracie. Her favorite spot to sleep is on the sill of the office window where she is able to see everything and everyone.
Has the Lord Jesus lovingly picked you up as a homeless lost soul? He is a “shelter in the time of storm” if you put your trust in Him. He wants to cleanse you from all your sins and provide you with everything you need.
Gracie will probably spend a long time cheering up people at the Shelter, but her life span may only be twenty years. The Lord Jesus has promised those of us who belong to Him a loving home in heaven that will last forever! He gives us everlasting life. Are you going to be there?
John 3:3636He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him. (John 3:36) says, “He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.” Will you accept God’s offer of a loving home in heaven by accepting His Son Jesus as your very own Saviour?
