Knock, Knock?

This morning I was standing in front of the bathroom sink, curling my hair as I prepared for an appointment.  I happened to look down at the closed door....and reaching through the small space between the door and the floor was this white paw.  My assumption is that it was trying to swat the toy mouse less than an inch away from its reach....so I stepped close and "bunted" the furry object closer, to which it was smacked back my direction.

At other times, our black cat will wave a paw through the space to let me know she's there...I'm sure to get me to open the door...usually I shoot a hair band at the door just above where she's pulled her paw back out of site to wait a moment or two...then with claws extended, she thrusts her paw back out to capture the rubber band and rake it in.

These precious animals love the bathroom; with the shower curtain drawn, our black cat will jump in the tub and wait for me to sling a hair band up over the metal bar...and drop down for her to take prisoner! There have also been those times when the shower curtains drawn I'll peek through the waves of material and see if I can spot where they might be.  "I can see you!" I'll whisper, thinking that I'm just looking at the tail....which moves just a bit...."I'm going to get you" I slowly announce, getting ready to tag my "opponent".  But with quick reflex response this massive fur ball comes rushing up that tunnel created by the shower curtain, with eyes focused directly on mine and tags my fingers!!   I gasp and laugh :)  The bathroom sink is a nice cool "bed" to relax in while I put on my makeup....and with the heater at the base of the wall, it's a popular site to find them!  The cats love spending time with me :)

In the same way...the Light creates curiosity in me.  I know the light reveals Who is in the Room...Who is preparing.....  I am so thankful Christ wants to spend time with me..with each of us!!  Yet there is soooooooooo much more in that Room than there is in my bathroom.  And just like my kittens who are drawn to the heat register by the door, I want to be filled with God's heat so that when I enter those cold seasons in life...as winter is approaching....I will be prepared for the bitter chill...I pray that I will be able to share His Warmth with others.....as others have brought This Heat to me.  May this flame ignite Passion and Compassion....Strength and Healing....Wisdom and Truth!
