I asked if she received the picture of my neighbor, Adam, and the cat he was fostering from the society. The director knew exactly who I was talking about. Adam started fostering Mustafa, the coolest cat ever a couple of months ago. But, the director told me that Adam had returned Mustafa because he lives in a microhouse and the hair was a bit much.<\/p>\n<p>I know Adam and how much he loved Mustafa. I knew the decision to stop fostering must have been terribly difficult. I was sad for a few seconds after hearing the news, but the director smiled and said, &#8220;Adam filled out the paperwork and left. A nice couple came in a few hours later and Mustafa was still in a cage on the counter in front. They saw him and adopted him.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>My joy returned. It was as if Adam knew in his heart that the nice couple was ready for Mustafa.<\/p>\n<p>Though it can be hard to trust love, I believe it&#8217;s seamless. We can put our love out into the universe for the good of everyone in mind.<\/p>\n<p>Quoting <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/science-religion-God-narrative-Science\/dp\/0979545455?ie=UTF8&amp;keywords=from%20science%20and%20religion%20to%20god&amp;qid=1456142730&amp;ref_=sr_1_2&amp;s=books&amp;sr=1-2\">from science &amp; religion to God<\/a>, <\/em>&#8220;We can trust the unseen God, the Father-Mother of us all to guide us to responsible healing. &#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/everydayspirituality\/files\/2016\/05\/Adam-musafa-and-j.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-3270 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.beliefnet.com\/sites\/269\/2016\/05\/Adam-musafa-and-j-300x196.jpg\" alt=\"Adam musafa and j\" width=\"300\" height=\"196\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Out on the job, I spontaneously came across some news that seemed bad, then instantly good.
