Don't mind the fluff


Like all cats, my two get into regular fights. Currently there is a patch of lawn that is covered in cat fluff. Yesterday morning, as I opened the lounge curtain, I witnessed an amazing sight. A little birdie was picking up the fluff and carrying it in his mouth, shortly before taking off and heading in the direction of what I assume is his new nest that he is preparing.

Witnessing natures recycling process first hand reminded me that in nature nothing is wasted. The nasty cat fight left building material for a soft fluffy nest. Some experiences we go through, especially the fights that leave us a bit bruised may seem a wasted life experience. Yet, we can know in God nothing is wasted.

God's desire is for us to use every life experience to grow in our relationship with him and with the people in our lives. If we can grow stronger and wiser through the experience, we will have redeemed that which was hurtful.
