Truffles does not approve when I go away. On my return, she displays some signs of having missed me.
Last night when I got home, she wasn’t exactly waiting at the door purring on my return. When I came upstairs she nonchalantly looked at me BUT she allowed me to pick her up and she hung out on my shoulder for a little longer than normal, kneading the air behind my back and purring. A minute later she was struggling to get down. Display of affection over, I left her to her own devices.
She slept snuggled up next to me all through the night. When I woke to go to the toilet, she hopped off the bed and sat on the mat in front of the loo.
When I went to my desk to work, she came along to keep an eye on me…
Deep down inside of Truffles is a sweet feline appreciating my love and care. These little acts of devotion prove she has a grain of sentiment.
Bad news Truffs, I’m off to Jo’burg tomorrow! Just one night!
The problem with Truffles is that she is insecure. She has these fears of abandonment. When we start clearing out and moving stuff around, she gets particularly uncertain. I think it’s always a relief for her when everything returns to normal. Fiercely independent but slightly insecure.
I guess that is how you can describe me as a human being. Maybe not fiercely independent, but independent at least. And slightly insecure – I am sure!
But God.
It doesn’t matter what I go through, how insecure I feel or how independent I am, the bottom line is the foundation upon which my life is based turns out to be a whole lot stronger than a human being.
Matthew 7:24-25 – Jesus speaking:
“Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and yet it did not fall, for it had been founded on the rock.…”
A solid foundation is a great asset. I don’t know what I would do without mine.
This has been a beautiful day in Cape Town. Autumn is lovely in this city. Blue skies, gentle breeze, perfect temperature.
These are the days!
Keep the smile going.
God bless you!
In His Grip,
