Humans give me Heartaches sometimes.
I am Christian and try to show love to everyone around me at all times, just as Christ loves me at all times.
However, it can be quite a challenge at times....take yesterday for example.....
Yesterday afternoon, I was in my car on my way to my knitting class, the car is all cozy and warm, a soft rain hitting the windshield, I had my favorite sweater on and a good song I was humming too and looking forward to seeing some of my favorite people and playing with yarn.
Come around a corner to spot a man throwing 2 kittens out of his van window.
He soon sees that I see him, and speeds away,running over one of the kittens he just threw out the window.
I fly out of the car and run to her, she is mewing, eyes huge with fright as she is dragging her now bloodied hindquarters to me.
I picked her up and her sibling (who is not injured) and carry them carefully back to my warm car, where the sweet baby died in my arms, with her sibling sitting at her side.
Huge tears are falling down my face as hate and bile are rising in my throat.
Then some words came to my mind "Forgive them Lord,for they no not what they do"
I said this over and over again while clutching that poor baby to my aching heart, her sibling perched on my shoulder.
This is how poor Manly found us, and took us home, where the poor wee one was buried in our yard.
I know God cares for all his animals, He speaks in the Bible of knowing even when a small sparrow falls.
As hard as is was for me to witness and as much as Manly and I want to track down this ignorant idiot, I know also that God can not control the free will of this man, but He can place someone who cares in front of His innocent creatures.
He made sure that kitty did not die alone on cold wet street.
He also made sure that her sibling is cared for.
I will not spend time hating this person for what he has done, instead I will let God deal with him.
I am sorry, dear friends, that this is not a very cheery post today,however my heart is aching, and I had to share my pain.
I will return to share pictures of our new kitten and other cheery things soon.
I have tears welling up just reading this. That just breaks my heart. Poor, sweet dears. I am so glad God had you in just the right place to comfort that baby. Okay, now the tears are really flowing. So happy that you now have a new kitten to share when you're ready. Peace to your household- and joy!
ReplyDeleteI am sorry for your pain. This is horrible and an experience like this needs addressing. I am glad you shared it, even if painful for us readers.
ReplyDeleteI will say a special prayer for you and light a candle in your honour. You are so right to not waste time hating this man.
Fondness and prayers

Hugs for you...that must have been such a heartbreaking experience. I have tears rolling down my face just from reading it. It's hard to forgive sometimes...
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that God put you there to do the right thing.
OMG! I am so sad to read this, I am crying myself......I am so so sad.....thank God that you were there to cradle her when she passed away and that her sibling lived....
ReplyDeleteOh dear girl, thank God you were there. I'm sorry you had to see that, but in a way, you were the one who needed to be there. Such terrible people in this world. But then, such beautiful ones - like you, who saved the darling kitten. I kinda hope you find that *&%^$#(*&^ and turn him in. I mean, if you have an idea of where/who he is, why not help to learn the error of his ways! Love and hugs to you, and darling kitty. So glad you're saving/helping/keeping him/her. Meanwhile, I hope creep-o comes to terms with having a black heart and stops the evilness!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh i am tearing up reading this post, i cant believe how aweful people can be and how terrible that had to have been. I am thankful you were there to comfort that poor baby kitty and save the other one. Sending you hugs and prayers
ReplyDeleteHesper, I cannot believe that you witnessed this. This is just horrid, what an awful man. Edith is adorable and I am so happy that you were there to rescue both her and her sibling. At least the sibling had love in her last moments. One cannot explain the cruelty of humans. Bless your heart and I hope your forget the awfullness.

This makes me ill...I read your last two posts in reverse, I hope she is happy in her new home full of love and companionship. It's hard not to wonder why some people do the things they do, sometimes it is so painful!
ReplyDeleteYou are a wonderful person dealing with this situation the way you did. I am so happy you were there to save at least (1) little one. Thanks and Bless You.
