Ode to Attention

Meow, Meow, Meow...is the greetings I woke up to this morning. In her full glory Heidi wanted my immediate attention. Unconditional Love, a warm hand stroking her back. (mind you as you read, I really don't like cats...Heidi is different!) She was content to sit on my chest with me scratching and petting with both hands. Heidi can be independent like most cats but she seeks affection and attention. Don't we all. As I was stroking her, that's where my morning thoughts led me to. Isn't that what I want to. Someone to give me undivided attention, love, warm of a gentle hand. In search for significance, I realize God is that ultimate supreme gentle hand. His love knows no boundaries. When in his presence, the unconditional love is surreal. Why can't I bring that feeling into my every day existence. Cognitively I know He is there always. That can be somewhat of a comfort but I know I'm still missing the whole picture.
