I remember it well. It was in the afternoon and the cats that we had at the time were out in the back yard of the house we had at that time, or Salmon was at least anyway. But in going out at one time I found that she had gotten herself onto the roof. And so there she was meowing at me. And there I was thinking the worst and coming to the idea that she had no idea as to how she was going to get down.
And so I got out a bit of wood and stood on it to try to coax her to me. But she was not having a bar of it. And I guess that looking at me she could see that I was not all that stable on that bit of wood. And yes, I was not stable at all as the next thing that I knew was that I was lying there flat on my back.
As I lay there and wondering what to do, the next thing that I saw was Salmon running by my feet with a look of wondering as to whether I was safe to be around or not. So much for me trying to do the right thing and ending up on my back, and the cat showing very little care for me. But then she did know what she was doing!
And how we could all learn from that. To worry a little less and to believe that all will be well. And to put a little bit more trust in the other person, where that is possible. When I stop and think about it I could have done a lot of harm to myself that day. And how I should have remembered that she would have been more than capable of getting down. And maybe that is what we should be willing to do with the one who made us each one. To have that trust in Him and to know that He will be there for us each one….each day.
