How to Get Whacked by a Cat

In life we all encounter ups and downs which can be frustrating. God teaches us in His word how we are to handle the ups and downs, or "trials" in life and let's us know in James 1:2 we will have trials. "How to Get Whacked by a Cat" is a story of a pup who is trying to figure out why she keeps getting whacked by a cat. This story came to life after watching my own two dogs, Gracy and George, get whacked by my cat, The Little Fat Guy.

For the pup in this story, as well as my own pups, "trials" come in the form of "whacks" from a cat. For real people, "whacks" or "Trials" may come in the form of illness, job loss, divorce, etc. Come read and laugh a little about a silly pup and the giver of whacks, a cat. The reading may help your child understand a little better how God wants us to respond to trails and it may even help you; if only to make you smile.
