Be a lamb
Are you a cat, a dog or a lamb?
With all due respect to everyone who reads this blog – I’m NOT calling anyone names. But this thought was sparked off by a friend’s blog on kittens. That’s when I remembered a folk saying:
“Corner a dog, he’ll whimper and cower; corner a cat, he’ll hiss and spit at you.”
I began to think: how do we respond to the tough times of our lives when we feel cornered? Do we sink into a morass of self-pity, or fight for our lives or do we mirror the Lamb who was spat upon, reviled and yet, won the world’s appreciation in His silent strength?
Take heart, my friend. The battle is not about what’s happening around you; it’s about what’s happening inside you.
God bless as you discover the source of your strength.

Thank you Lithi for putting the link to my post. I love all babies and children! I am really not a cat person but just recently watched two of my older outside cats die from old age. Very sad. The one left has gotten more attention now. Being still, meek, mild is the hardest part for me to learn. I think age has helped! LOL Anger does not solve anything. But to think how this mamma cat has protected her babies... and some people call them dumb animals. LOL Many Blessings, Janie Marie
