Grace Notes--column
Hello! My name is Sweet Pea. Mom is taking a break this week so I graciously decided to fill in for her. OOPS! Just as long as Mom doesn't catch me typing on her keyboard. Be right back!
Okay, Mom is napping soundly so I'm good to go. Where was I? Oh, yes. I am a nine year old female brown and gray tiger cat. I've never lived anywhere else but our old place so this move to a new place really upset me, at first.
My History
Nine years ago, Mom rescued me from an abusive home. At first, all I wanted to do was hide under the bed, eat, and sleep. Mom was very patient though, and after a while I opened up and began to play and talk to her about my troubles. She listened and stroked my back. I know she loves me very much.
Shortly after I moved in with Mom, God and I had a talk. He comes to visit quite often and on this particular visit God appointed me to be Mom's guardian angel. Mom is a writer and sometimes she forgets to feed me or herself so God asked me to remind her to eat, sleep and relax. I am very good at my job.

Before The Move
In the months before we moved I knew Mom was stressed. She didn't want to play or talk to me very much. There was constant noise from the two-legs upstairs and Mom kept the blinds closed so I couldn't look out and the two-legs couldn't look in. Heather, a two-leg who helps Mom with errands, housework and other stuff, opened the door one day to find boxes had magically appeared. From then on, the Box Fairies made sure we never ran out of boxes to pack our things in. Periodically, the property manager would come over and talk roughly to Mom. She would cry afterward. I didn't like him much because he smelled of sweat and alcohol most of the time.
On the night before the move, God came to visit again. He knew we both needed reassurance. He told me the next few days would pass in a blur, I may be scared by all the activity just like Mom but I didn't need to be afraid. God said this move was something He had wanted for us for a long time. He also said life would be better for us once we settled into our new place. I believed Him.
OOPS! Mom's awake! I have to go but next week...The Day Our Lives Changed Forever! {:O)
