Buffy the Kitten - My Nurse

In 1968, due to orthopedic surgery, I was completely bed-ridden for two months so was allowed to adopt a kitten!

Since a friend's cat had kittens I chose an orange kitten named Buffy to be my companion, actually Buffy chose me! As soon as I sat on my friend's floor to inspect the kittens, Buffy, an nine week old crawled right into my lap and would not leave. So actually Buffy chose me!

Buffy had an uncanny sense about my needs for he stayed by my side 24 hours a day. Every morning, at exactly 7:00 a.m., he would awaken me by first meowing, then by sitting on my stomach, then by sitting on my chest, then by patting my nose, and finally by sitting on my face! Quickly I learned to wake up before this last step!

God was so good and kind to give me such a loving companion!

A Shelter from the Storm

In 1968, when I was thirteen years old, Mom and Dad went to a party in another town about thirty minutes away.

 While they were gone a tornado was sighted, and a city-wide tornado warning was issued.

 Dad phoned me at home, “Deb, are you alright?!” I replied, “I'm pretty scared.” Dad’s immediate response was, “I'll be right home!” Dad arrived and took me back to the party with him. How great was Dad's love for me.

So will Jesus come back for us at Earth's darkest hour. How great is God’s love for us!

 If for no other future plans than this, the Lord is teaching me total dependence and faith on Him.

"For Thou hast been a stronghold to the poor...a shelter from the storm...." Isaiah 25:4 [RSV]
