Bessie seemed to be just an ordinary cat who wandered into the Robinsons' home one day. But as Pearly Mae Robinson tells it, Bessie was anything but ordinary.

You see, Bessie turned out to be God's little messenger. Through her, God saved their lives and taught the Robinsons about having faith, being prepared, and trusting Him no matter what comes your way.

This isn't just a story about a cat; it's about how God can use any of his creation to remind us he is always watching over us.

The next time you think something ordinary can't be important, remember Bessie. God can use anyone-or anything-when we least expect it.
