The Best Dad in the World!!

We have the best dad in the world.

After caring for 4 baby kittens for 8 weeks we we took the remaining two kittens to our local pet store last night so they could find a home for them.  I did it by myself which I think was harder than having the kids with me.  Both my older boys had a football game last night so I dropped off the kittens on the way to the football game.  I felt like I'd given away one of my children.

I didn't sleep well last night and kept trying to let my head win over my heart where the kittens were concerned.  So this morning we went by to see the kittens and also talked to all the birds, hamsters, mice, tarantulas and various animals as we held and petted the kittens. 

My oldest son was so sad he cried when we left.  Trying to be rational I talked to him as I held him about the expense of kittens and animals…..the food, vet bills etc.

I had already decided we were going to take the morning off from school since the weather here is turning so very beautiful.  So as we headed for the park we continued to talk about the responsibility of animals. 

We called dad while we were at the park with our “sad missing the kittens” voices and he decided to meet us a little later with pizza for lunch.  When he arrived he also had a box.  Guess what was in the box?  Both of the kittens!

What a wonderful kind loving father he is.  He's not a cat fan and sacrificed his own desires for that of his long-faced children and wife.

I think that will certainly get an extra crown in heaven don't you?
Basking in His LIGHT,
