Well I couldn’t resist using the picture of this determined little Cat as part of a weekly wonder.
This rather chilly day we were knocking on a
door as this little grey cat came trotting around the corner and stood at the
door. ( For our Purposes we will name him Mr. Cat). He sat meowing for a few seconds but quickly came to the conclusion that the two
sister missionaries he was staring at were not going to solve his problem of
getting out of the cold back into his cozy home. With a quick turn of his head
and more determination in his eyes, he bounded up to the door and stretched out
his little paw reaching for the door knob with all his might. I was quite impressed with the little guy who knew the door knob
was what stood between shivering outside in the bitter cold or cuddling up on a nice warm couch. Mr. Cat was putting in effort and determination. In the end it would be his master that would ultimately let him
back into the house so he could enjoy the comforts of his home.
This short scenario with Mr. Cat caused my mind to race of
the many commonalties between my little cat friend’s problems and the problems
and challenges that we face every day. Many times we are stuck on the outside
of the door and must make the same choice as Mr. Cat, Will we persevere or will we
( meow/ complain) and give up? When we feel like we will be in the cold forever, the task at hand
seems impossible, and all hope seems lost, WE MUST KEEP TRYING! As we show our
valiant effort and do our part we can remember that Christ's Grace will carry us through our darkest days and deepest trials. If we will continually do our part to persevere and let Christ in, he will be by our side and will bring us out of the
cold so we may enjoy peace and comfort once again.
