| Carmel Asleep |
He squirreled his way into my arms, snuggled his head into my hand and simply fell asleep. I tried putting him aside to continue and he now is across my lap, over one arm. Get the picture?
Nothing I could do about it for about 20 minutes so I just sat here and pondered! I wonder if this isn't exactly what God wants us to do when life tries to give us an "update" on situations. It takes awhile, we don't really know what's happening or how long "this will last." Whatever the "this" is for each of us...doesn't matter.
Just imagine crawling up on God's lap, in His secure arms and lap, letting Him hold us in his love, mercy and compassion. A place of safety, knowing that the updates of life are in progress but we need to wait. We may as well rest calmly, quietly and know that no matter what happens, God is the best "go to person" for our cares.
I think about these things every now and then. A cat in my arms gives me good pause to do so. What about you? In Whose arms might you be held by when your life is in the update mode and you don't know how long it will take?
