The Grateful Cat
Brother Talmage tells of an English student who came upon a mother cat in great distress over the danger her kittens were in. He rescued three mewing kitten and took them home with him.
The mother cat followed him and rubbed against his legs with grateful purrs and was happy to be reunited with the kittens in his home where they were safe.
She even brought him a mouse to show her gratitude for what he had done, which of course the student did not want or need, but he still appreciated the cat’s effort.
God doesn’t need our gifts any more than the student needed the mouse. But He loves to see our thankful hearts and the ways we try to show our love.
Let’s Talk About It:
- Why do you think the cat brought a gift to the student?
- How can we show our gratitude to Heavenly Father, even though He already has everything?
Try This:
Do a “thank-you hunt.” Find three people you can thank today — in person, with a note, or with a drawing.
Family Prayer:
Thank Heavenly Father for His blessings and ask for help noticing good things every day.
