Perspective

The Cat’s Perspective: The can notices all the things the man does for her. He buys food for her and feeds her; he buys kitty litter and keeps her littler box clean; he lets her sleep when and where she wants to; he pets her whenever she climbs into his lap, but when she's had enough she can simply walk away; he takes her to the vet whenever she is sick; he buys her medicine to keep fleas off her; he does whatever he can to care for her. The cat says to herself, “I must be god for him to take such good care of me.” And when the man comes home from work there are no expectations of the cat. The cat says to herself, “It’s all about me!”

The Dog’s Perspective: The dog notices all the things the man does for her. He buys her food and feeds her; he takes her outside for walks; he lets her sleep in the house whenever she is tired; he takes her to the vet whenever she is sick; he buys her medicine to keep fleas and ticks off her; he does whatever he can to care for her. The dog says to herself, “He must be god to take such good care of me.” While the man is at work the dog watches the house and protects his possessions. When the man gets home the dog meets him at the door to welcome him, delighted to see and be with her master. The dog thinks, “It’s all about him!”

So what is your perspective? Are you a cat or a dog? Is it all about you, or is it all about Him?

Until next time…
