Pointing to Heaven
Little Lucy went out into the garden and saw her cat Tiddles
lying on the ground with its eyes shut and its legs in the
air. She fetched her Dad to look at Tiddles, and on seeing the cat he
said, as gently as he could, "I'm afraid Tiddles is dead,
Lucy".
"So why are his legs sticking up in the air like that,
Daddy?" asked Lucy as she fought back the tears.
At a loss for something to say the father replied, "Tiddles' legs are
pointing straight up in the air so that it will be easier for Jesus to
float down from heaven above and grab a leg and lift Tiddles up to
heaven".
Little Lucy seemed to take her Tiddles death quite well.
However, two days later when her father came home
from work Lucy had tears in her eyes and said: "Mommy almost
died this morning".
Fearing something terrible had happened the father shook the girl
and shouted, "How do you mean Lucy? Tell Daddy!
"Well", mumbled Lucy, "soon after you left for work this morning I saw
mommy lying on the floor with her legs in the air and she was shouting:
"Oh Jesus!!! I'm coming, I'm coming!!!" and if it hadn't been for the
mailman holding her down she would definitely have gone, Daddy
