Curiosity and the cat
If you have one, a cat that is, it
doesn't take you long to figure out where the saying “curiosity
killed the cat” actually comes from. The other night I was busy
fiddling with the plugs at the back of my bed and I had pulled out
the base to get to the plug itself, when before I knew it, Topaz had
wiggled her way in under the base.
Now this is particularly troublesome
because I have a futon base which is really low. It didn't take long
before 'poepsiewinkles' was stuck and couldn't get out, although it
did take me a few minutes to figure it out. In the end I had to push
the mattress off far enough to see where she was, lift the base and
let her crawl all the way through. Tough job that was!
How often in life don't we get stuck
simply because we gave no thought to our actions whatsoever, nor
thought to check if we should actually be going down that road
anyhow? Word to the wise ....next time you get tempted to crawl in
where you shouldn't go...ask God for wisdom and take some time to
listen for an answer and think things through.
