As a Kitten

Oh, to recapture the joy of being a kitten in a prayer meeting. How we often come to a place in our lives where the task before us becomes more momentous than the life before us! How we need a divine refocus to realize that the joy of the kitten can be ours. Yes, the task is before us, but God commands full, abundant living! We need rest, we need restoration, but we need a fresh dose of joy most of all! We need to be able to find a toy in a shoelace or a moving hand. We need to be able to see life in a way that makes light of our surroundings that delights in those small joys. That is able to romp happily, to attack eagerly, to go until unable to stand, and finally plopping down in the lap of the One who loves us most.
