On a lighter note, curiosity about God

My curiosity about God started at a young age. My parents went away for about a week and my sister and I stayed with an aunt and uncle that lived in the area.

That particular aunt and uncle were very religious and we had to gather around and do nightly prayers as a group. All of us kids were gathered around on the floor, with our heads bowed, as my uncle stood and prayed to God.

At one point, my uncle said, "And may God look down upon us."

Well curious minds want to know, right. So right after he said those words, I looked up to see if God was looking down on us, and also to see what God looked like.

Up on the top of their tall bookshelf was their cat looking down on us. If you know me, then you know that I love cats! I almost laughed out loud as I wondered - Is God a cat!

Luckily I held back my laughter; I don't think my uncle would have approved! I don't recall anything else he said that night. I would like to think though that I must have also thought, that at least God has a since of humor, and must also love cats. But that is more of my adult mind thoughts; back then I was just enthralled and happy to see their cat as God.

If it's Saturday when you're reading this, then happy Saturday Caturday to you!
