Our new
kitten plays fetch. Yes. Really.
This
morning, as I repeatedly tossed her favorite stuffed mouse across the room and
she brought it back to me, ready to run again, I had a few thoughts.
1 – She’s so
cute!
2 – She has
a lot of energy for 5:15 a.m. (She woke me up to play, so it’s a good thing
she’s so cute and loveable.)
3 – It
doesn’t matter to her that she’s a cat playing fetch.
She doesn’t
know that the game of fetch makes me think of dogs in the park. Nor would she
care because, you know, she’s a cat. Cats aren’t known for conforming. They
march to their own beat. They don’t care what others think.
Wouldn’t
that be nice? To not get caught up in what others think. To not be told we
can’t do something because we don’t fit the mold. To not wear the label someone
tries to pin on us.
It’s not a
bad thing to be an individual and not care what others think.
It’s good—very good—to be who God
made us to be. To value the skills and talents He has gifted us with. To not let others stop us from trying new
things, no matter whether we fail or succeed.
If we stop
trying, how will we know what we’re good at or what we love to do?
If she
hadn’t brought that little brown mouse back to me, how would we know that fetch
isn’t just for dogs?
In Christ,
I love this.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the reminder that we are all unique and beautifully created by God, just as He intended us to be. I think we all need to remember that once in a while! Have fun with your kitty :) Stopping by from Thought Provoking Thursday.
