On a sunny Sunday afternoon, two young church members were going door to
door
to invite people to visit their services. When they knocked on one door, it
was immediately clear the woman who answered was not happy to see them.
She told them in no uncertain terms that she did not want to hear their
message, and before they could say anything more, she slammed the door in
their faces.
To her surprise, however, 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 foot 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."
