Visitation

One sunny Sunday afternoon, two young church members were going door to door inviting people to visit their services. When they knocked on one door, however, it became immediately clear that the woman who answered was not happy to see them.

She told them in no uncertain terms that she did not want to hear what they had to say and slammed the door in their faces.

But to her surprise, the door did not close; in fact, it bounced back open. She tried again, really putting her back into it, and slammed it again with the same result — the door bounced back open.

Convinced these rude young people were sticking their feet in her door, she reared back to give it a slam that would teach them a lesson. Just then one of them said quietly: "Ma'am, before you do that again, you really need to move your cat."
