Hello John and all!

I have an interesting experience I would like to share with you guys. Something interesting happened to me recently as I was visiting my parents house.

Sitting in my parents living room, I had a conversation with YESHUA that started to me as "normal". The usual greeting that I gave HIM was Hello, my KING YESHUA, my big cuddle.  (Yes that is what I call him due to an experience I had last year with him) Anyhoo...on with this story.

In this converstation with YESHUA,  I found myself asking him to show me more of his personality, something, I said, only your 12 apostles understood about you.  I heard his voice say, "LOOK AT YOUR PARENTS CAT." So I did. OUR LORD replied, "CALL HER." So I did, "Here mags here maggie girl, come her pretty girl. Needless to say she just stared at me while laying by the fireplace with a look that said, "What."  In calling my parents cat and having her just look at me and barely even bat an eyelash, I noticed by mom's dog sitting next to me wagging his tail, wanting to be "loved".
YESHUA stated, "DO I NOT SHOW UP BEFORE YOU CALL ME?"  Whoah! I said, YOU'RE telling me that the way a cat treats humans is "the way we(humans) treat YOU." and the way a dog treats us is "the way YOU treat us!?"  HE stated, YES!"

CATS-
They may come to you, if it is their idea.
They stay to cuddle if it is in their best interest.
You try to get them away from the fireplace when their fur gets too hot, but they go right back after jumping out of your arms.
They stand in the middle of the room and Meow at you expecting you to respond and then ignore you when you encourage them to come and cuddle.
They are independent and are not swayed by your interest to love on them when they seem blue. They want to wallow in whatever they are feeling, alone.
They want love and full affection when you are reading the newspaper or on the computer-laying directly in your path of progress.
They howl in the middle of the night for no apparent reason and then sulk if you don't wake up and spend time with them.
They love catnip!(How does YESHUA  woo us....Catnip!!(THE HOLY SPIRIT)

Okay now who hasn't felt like they got a good dose of catnip after THE HOLY SPIRIT has just graced them!!! Weeeeee!

DOGS  (GOD SPELLED BACKWARDS-DOG) "Man's best friend!!!!!!!!!!"

They are always waiting "at the door" hearing the arrival of your car two blocks away.
They do not judge you for who you are. They just want to love you(Sounds like OUR SAVIOR to me)
They will want to take a walk with you...even in the rain.
They love to smell the flowers too!
They will sense when "you are blue" and lay their heads in your lap.
They will leave your "cuddle zone" only when kicked out!
They want to share every meal with you...yes even if it is "cheetos" (Okay, yes sometimes a bag of cheetos is a meal for me!)
They cock their heads to the side as if trying to understand you.
They jump and act like they got "catnip" even if they feel you approaching!!
They will protect you with a loud barking even if an innocent leaf looks menacing in your direction.
They listen without backtalk and love to play.
When you chastise and yell at them for the "injustice done to the carpet" because you forgot about them, They come back as if nothing has happened between you.

I could go on here but you get the idea---I love cats! Especially our "Trashbin" on this site. I also love dogs!  Now, I appreciate them so much more.

I said, after pondering this "golden nugget" of information,

Thank you YESHUA! Meow-I love YOU!!  ***and this is not a lie...HE responded, WHOOF, I LOVE YOU MORE.....

Always occupying and "looking up!" in Dallas Texas---AGAPE AND MEOW! Kelly
