A Kruiser enKouragement

A good excuse
for not
walking: No time
Excuse buster: Cut
your walking time in half and carry a cat. The extra weight burns
calories!
I have a confession
to make: I’ve fallen in love with a cat named Smoky Mountain Mama. And it was all due to her
relentless pursuit to be with me. Take for example the time I tried to
take a
walk without her following me. Smoky was waiting by the north door, so
I snuck
out the south door. She was now by the
south
door, so I headed around the house toward the barn. Smoky followed me
right into
the barn, and just as I hoped, started eating the cat food we had
there. So, I
headed out the back of the barn. No Smoky. I slowly walked up the lane.
No
Smoky. Time to increase my pace. Still no Smoky! Now I was really
moving with
my focus on making it to Greenfield
Road and back in 30 minutes.
And I guess Smoky had that in mind too,
because as I took one last look back, there she was running as fast as
she
could to make up the 8th of a mile distance that was between
her and
me. Now I find myself wanting to spend time with her every day.
I’ve also fallen in
love with a Savior. And it was all due to His relentless pursuit to be
with me.
Now I find myself wanting to spend time with Him every day. “How great
is the love
the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of
God!” (I
John 3:1) Spend a few moments thanking God for His love. Ask Him
to help
you find time to meet with Him every day.
