ACIM Lesson #348
"I have no cause for anger or for fear,
For You surround me. And in every need
That I perceive, Your grace suffices me."

| Bob, the Cat |
[Marsha's thoughts]
As these words have swirled through my head today, I keep coming back to a recent event which demonstrates this truth. Some of you know that our wonderful tabby-point cat, Bob, passed on recently. While I'm not going to tell the Story of Bob in this writing, one part of his time with us stays with me when I think of having no cause for anger or for fear. When our household welcomed a Corgi puppy, Chili, it wasn't an easy time for the cats of the house! After an encounter with Clili, in which Bob's ear was ripped by a herding nip, this cat called Bob moved outside. When Chili would go outside, occasionally he would challenge Bob by growling and rushing at him. Bob would flop over on his back, squirming happily, while purring and smiling at the dog! This was after he had been attacked by this young dog. Bob never exhibited any fear or anger; he never retaliated with his claws; he simply dissipated the anger with Love. Now this never happened in the house, but outside with his paws in the dirt, he seemed to be centered in nature, knowing what to do at all times in order to either avert or evaporate danger. Bob lived the Love which is God. There was only happiness and contentment surrounding him. Bob "got It"!!

“The Science Jesus taught and lived must triumph over all material beliefs about life, substance, and intelligence, and the multitudinous errors growing from such beliefs.”
