Offering a Cat in Service to God

Today’s Reflection

“What has God placed in your life that you would be willing to place on the altar” in service to God? After struggling with it for some time, an elderly widow offered her cat. The church leaders were perplexed about what to do with a cat. . . . The church soon became known for its pet ministry.
