STRAY CAT
a few weeks ago a stray kitten plopped herself on our patio and would not leave
she talked alllllll day long
every day
morning and night
oh sure she appreciated food
though what she really wanted was a forever home
attention . loving
she gobbled up the scratches on her back and lovin' more than food
she was insistent that i find her a home
todd's allergic to cats so our home was out of the question
alas, after a few weeks, no luck with finding her a home,
so we were going to take her to the vet to get checked this weekend,
and after that she'd be in a foster home
and then
YESTERDAY HAPPENED
SEWING MACHINE
i have an industrial sewing machine that I used for a previous business, making couture dog collars
we shipped it to mexico along with other furniture when we moved to Puerto Vallarta in 2016
my heart was no longer into it
though i would tinker on it once in awhile
YESTERDAY i remembered a friend's sis who's been interested in a sewing machine
so I asked if she'd like it,
I had the strong urge to gift it to her
and had no idea what it would mean
meanwhile, her story that i didn't know...
she'd been saving for a sewing machine for years
this week, she had an amazing opportunity for her son to go to private school
she felt in her heart that her son needed to go to this school it was the right thing to do
so she sacrificed her own dream of the sewing machine
that she'd been saving for years
and put all of that money toward her son's school
and the next day
i offered to gift her my sewing machine
CHILLS
No wait, it continues...
as i was writing to my friend about giving his sis the sewing machine
i thought about the cat and jokingly asked if he wanted a kitten
even though they already have many animals
he said YES!!!!
this beautiful kitten got her wish
it all happened so fast
so easily
it was quick moments of a thought passing through my mind
that i acted on
*now a son will go to private school
*a mother will make beautiful things on a sewing machine
*and a kitten named Gertrude has a loving forever home 🤍
now THAT makes me happy
miracles do happen
does Larleen believe in miracles?
what miracles have you witnessed today?
it's simple, do you
