Let Sleeping Cats Lie...

Right now, the younger of our two cats is sleeping behind me, paws up in the air completely asleep.
Now Samantha is not the brightest of cats, but she is very likeable, and very friendly. She gives love without really expecting it in return... just a constant state of gratitude and bliss that we once took her in and gave her shelter. Unlike our other cat, she has no pretensions about owning the place, or that we are here to serve her. She's just glad to be here.

I think maybe it's a lesson that she's been trying to teach us... Just be glad that you're here, and show some gratitude.

Isn't that what faith is about? Giving thanks to God that we're here... Especially when we find ourselves complaining just a bit too much? Yes, there are certainly times and places to raise our hands for justice... but we do so out of a sense of gratitude, of how precious life is.

Profound lessons from a sleeping cat...
