Life sure throws a lot of curveballs--the kind of stuff that keeps us on our toes.

The sweet kitty I told you about last week died, and I had to sit back and wonder why. It was thriving and fat and happy, and it's hard for me to accept that some things just happen. I admire the woman who cared for kitty, and remind myself that in ten days of life, kitty had more love and affection than some people do for an entire lifetime. Now kitty has heavenly love, the kind that we all should look forward to, where there is no hurt, no pain, no sadness. Where there is abundant joy, camaraderie, and never-ending peace.

It's unfortunate we can't experience that here on earth.
