GOD SENSE by Valerie Alston

Once upon a time... as the story goes, there lived a little mouse in my house. This small critter ran around from room to room, sometimes hiding behind the broom in the kitchen. Whenever the kitchen floor was swept "Flow"would hang onto the straw brushed broom that swept up the dirt and debris. We called the little mouse "Flow" because she would whirl around clinging tightly getting  dizzy always going with the flow of motion.

I loved small animals and most critters had a strong attraction to me as well. It was a special God Sense that alerted me to any danger that may come my way before it was too late. Along with the five senses I was born with, I had an extra sense, a sixth sense. However God Sense is different, it allows us to do the unthinkable. A deaf person who can hear when they're not supposed to be able to hear its  God Sense. A neighbor once said, "If he can't hear, why does he hear what he wants to hear?" Or the woman down the street wondered how the one eyed man was able to drive a big truck. "If he couldn't  see, how could he drive?" God Sense allows someone the ability to do what no one can understand. When one of the five senses are weaker or disabled, another one of the senses gets stronger so the person has the ability to do what others cannot. "But if he's blind in one eye, why does he see so much?" Its because the good eye is stronger than most people with 20/20 vision. Isn't that amazing!

As the story goes, "Flow" had God Sense too, remember that God created everything on the Earth. And "Flow" could sense danger as well, she knew exactly when the cat would come after her so she'd run and hide. And she know when it was alright to come out and play again, like riding on the broom. She knew the house was safe when the cat was napping or gone to the vet. She knew I loved having her around and would never hurt her or let her get caught by the cat? "Flow" ate good at my house, she was playful and most of the time happy. But one day while she rode the broom I noticed how fat she was getting then she slept a lot and didn't come out to play like she used to. I wondered was she sick or just getting old and tired. I found her in the kitchen closet, curled up as she was nursing her babies. What a surprise it was to me. I screamed!

 As much as I loved "Flow" but I couldn't have her family take over my kitchen, then the whole house.  "Flow" sensed the madness when the exterminators arrived. She quickly got her babies out of my house and they were never seen again.~
