Get this. I've just been interviewed for a cat magazine about the life of Gracie the Wundercat!
If you remember, one fine winter day in 2010 my little guys and I were frolicking in the back yard after a long winter's nap when we heard a pitiful mew coming from the back of our fence. With a neighbor's help, we rescued a fluffy grey kitten from the fence, got her to the vet, and eventually had to have her right front paw amputated at the shoulder.
We named her Gracie. Partly because it seemed like a funny name for a three-legged cat. But also, because to me she is a reminder of God's grace to us when he finds us dirty and broken from our sin, rescues us, and adopts us as His children, His gift to His son Jesus Christ! By grace we are saved, through faith, so that no one can boast (Ephesians 2:8-9).
Look at her now! She is beautiful, isn't she? She may or may not remember her feral past like I do. (Mine, that is.) She still makes messy mistakes that are hard for us to clean up, although we always do. We love her and care for her because she is ours.
Are you His?

Awww! She is beautiful. ♥
Yes, she is beautiful! And you are very blessed to have her. We also adopted a 3-legged cat 3 years ago and we named her Gracie, too. Small world! What a joy & a blessing to have this kitty in our lives. God's timing is always perfect and He sent her to us as a very special gift!
