A Humorous God Story

My uncle was in his stance pose. He was getting ready to do their nightly prayer.

The nightly prayer was serious business. He stood firm, Bible in one hand, the other hand on top of the bible. Us children had knelt on the floor, kind of in a circle from where he stood.

This was much more serious than any kind of prayer that went on at my house. At my uncle's house, everyone participated together. Children quiet on the floor. He spoke; not anyone else. We the children, sat quietly and listened.

To tell you the truth, I also kind of sat in boredom, waiting for it to be over.

But then my ears perked up.

"And may God look down upon us." he said.

My heart was excited. The thought of God looking down upon us was just amazing to me. I was very interested. I couldn't believe that God would take time from his whatever, to look down on this little group.

I just had to see... What God Looked Like.

So I looked up. I just had to see.

And what did I see???

Their Cat, sitting up there, upon their bookcase, looking down on us; this meager little group; and me, mesmerized. For I had looked up to see the face of God, and what did I see? A CAT.

I quickly covered my mouth with my hand to keep the laughter from coming out. I couldn't let anyone hear me laugh. I also thought in amazement that, GOD is a CAT?

Well really, I don't know if I really believed that in that moment, but I think I did, if only for a brief moment, considered that God is a Cat.

I gained my composure and did not let my laughter escape. I don't think anyone heard me.

At least, no one seemed to respond in any way to hint that they knew what I had just done, that I had giggled or laughed during their nightly prayer.

I went back to sitting quietly, waiting for my uncle to finish the prayer.

I couldn't tell you anything else that he might have said. Nothing else had made an impression on me, except for that brief segment.

But for that brief segment, I am thankful; for either God is a Cat, (or at least part of God,) or God has a sense of humor and does encourage joy and laughter.

Hope you enjoyed my anecdotal memory. My cat Tori has graciously sat in for my uncle's cat.

May you enjoy the rest of your day.

Do you have a humorous God story to share?

Here is a picture of Tori on a mug to help you remember this fun story. I do believe that God is everywhere and in everyone. Sometimes we might just have to look a bit harder to see it. : )

They only saw it as a new bed that was just cozy enough for the both of them. This fun design is printed on the tshirt style, size, and color of your choice, for any gender and or age.
