My Cat Talked Today

As I was getting ready to leave the house today my cat, Tigger, spoke to me. I had finished my Bible reading and made a few notes. However, my prayer time was cut short. There was just so much on my mind. There were a few emails I needed to send in regards to a few schedule changes for various meetings for the day and I was hoping to squeeze in a quick 30 min. work-out and then shave; all before going to my first meeting. As I was about to walk out the door Tigger was sitting there just looking at me and so I gave her a quick pat on the head, but still she was there, same spot, same look, just looking at me. And so, I figured that maybe she wanted a treat and so I quickly put a small treat down for her thinking that would be a great exit. She looked at it but she didn’t eat it but just looked back up at me. And then I realized what she wanted – some time. Have you ever wondered why God created us? The official party line answer is that we were created to love and worship God and yet I wonder if maybe we’ve got this backwards. While I’m not certain if any of us really know for certain, I think that He created us, first and foremost so that He could love us…because He wanted to be with us. Tigger said, I don’t want an obligatory pat on the head nor do I want a treat, all I really want is to spend some time with you.
