Puzzle Cat

We have a big, fat, lazy cat named Fanta in our family. He sleeps and eats all day and conserves his energy for the times he feels the need to make trouble. This is one of those moments. The boys and I love to do puzzles and last weekend we decided to give a 500 piece puzzle a try. All we did was get up for a moment and this is what we discovered on our return. Fanta always does this. He either sits in the box or lays on top of the pieces so we can't work the puzzle. I have no idea what makes him do this or what enjoyment he gets from this, but whatever the reason it really isn't appreciated at our house.

Every once in awhile I meet someone like Fanta. I am sure you know someone like that also. Someone that waits for the opportunity to make your life miserable, otherwise you wouldn't see them at all. You waited for that special moment to enjoy something and there they appear to make trouble for you and ruin the moment.

As with the puzzle, I am learning that I really do have more control of the situation that I first assessed. Although the cat was a distraction, all I needed to do is just pick the cat up and put him on the floor. Problem solved. People can be handled the same way. I wouldn't suggest picking them up and throwing them on the floor, but a simple reality check that you can walk away from them will suffice. End of problem.

God says that we always have a choice in our actions.

Ecclesiastes 10:1-3
"As dead flies cause even a bottle of perfume to stink,
so a little foolishness spoils great wisdom and honor.

A wise person chooses the right road;
a fool takes the wrong one.

You can identify fools
just by the way they walk down the street!"
