The Spirit of Adoption is alive and well at our house. This little grey kitten is very obviously not the offspring of this momma cat. The father is a dark tabby and momma has not a speck of grey in her, but we do have a beautiful long haired grey female that this kitten strongly resembles. For some reason though, this little one has been nursing from this black and white beauty since not long after it was born.
We've always had a lot of this type of thing going on. We even had a dog that would steal baby piglets so that she would have something to nurse!
It makes sense that our animals would do this. We have quite the family tradition of "adopting" people ourselves. Both of us grew up in families that took in foster children and we've always "adopted" our kids friends, kids that I babysat or homeschooled, kids at church and of course all these kids babies as they've grown older. And you know what? We get that from our Father God who by the Spirit of Adoption has brought us into His family and calls us His own :) Romans 8:15 He takes in everyone who comes to Him. If you've never come to Him, He's waiting!
God Bless You All!
