Let There Be Kitten. and there was Sophie

Worn down or just abundantly generous? The heart of a father is an interesting thing to think about. If you ask your father for a chocolate buscuit and he says no, the instinct of a child is to keep asking in the hope of wearing him down. Hoping that eventually he will say "FINE! You know what?! Take the whole packet!" Secretly chuckling at the free spirit of his child. After a year of pleading incessantly I was suprised with a kitten for my birthday. Sophie is currently trying to wile her way onto my laptop. She pretends to love me to get warmth. This addition to our family has added a lightness to our hearts and a laugh to our mornings as she attacks feet, bouncing all over our bed spread. Somehow her contentedness rubs off on us. Kittens can smile. I'm sure of it.

(Luke 11.9-12)

 ⁷Ask, and you will receive. Search, and you will find. Knock, and the door will be opened for you. ⁸Everyone who asks will receive. Everyone who searches will find. And the door will be opened for everyone who knocks. ⁹Would any of you give your hungry child a stone, if the child asked for some bread? ¹⁰Would you give your child a snake if the child asked for a fish? ¹¹As bad as you are, you still know how to give good gifts to your children. But your heavenly Father is even more ready to give good things to people who ask.
