The Good We Do

By Joseph J. Mazzella • September 11, 2024

We have had a tough stretch of weather this Summer here in the mountains of my home. Record heat and very little rain has left us with drought like conditions across the entire state. The grass is drying up and going brown and even the trees are losing their leaves early this year. It has been especially hard on the forest animals, not only in finding water but also enough to eat. That is why my daughter with her sweet soul has started putting out a lot of extra cat food for her outdoor cats each day.

Each morning she fills up the plates and her two “formerly” stray cats come up to eat. After they have filled their bellies and gone off to get a morning nap under the shade of a tree I see that the left over cat food isn’t going to waste. This morning I saw 3 fair-sized crows down at the plate eating the kitty kibble that was there. Then after they flew off to do whatever crows do, a small cardinal that had built a nest in the tree next to my daughter’s home flew down to gobble up what was left. Over and over it would fly down, do a perfect landing, snatch a piece of kibble in its mouth, and fly back up to the nest again to feed its babies. As I sat and watched all of this from my kitchen window I couldn’t help but smile with joy. I delighted in seeing my girl taking her place in the great circle of Love that God has created for us here on Earth.

I also wondered about how far the good we do travels in this world. My daughter just started out feeding one stray cat that was hanging around her home but now has become a literal life saver helping to keep so many animals alive. Seeing her inspired me to write this and perhaps reading it will inspire another to perform their own act of kindness. Where it ends only God can see. Do all the good you can then. Share your love, kindness, and joy. Make the world a better place with your life here. Take your spot in God’s great circle of Love. It never ends.
