Lockdown Day 248 - 29 November 2020
They say when one moves with a cat, their homing device needs to be activated so they don't feel like traveling back to the previous home. I remember from school days how we used to put a smear of soft butter on a new cat's paws to activate its homing device, kept it in one room until the butter was licked off and the paw clean.
Unpacking is a kind of human homing device. You move in and don't go anywhere, just open up one box after the other and keep going. It's as if you cannot focus on anything else but getting each thing in its place.
For the cat, the butter tastes good at first, but then it turns into a time consuming irritation and all it can do is keep on licking untill its clean. And then, when it is let out of the room and everyone fusses, it thinks, what's this fussing all about, I'm home, aren't I ?
So it is with us, today we just kept on opening and unpacking box after box. Hubby mostly in the garage and myself in our quarters upstairs.
Homing device 2 was a spectacular snack platter for the day Charmiane dropped off early this morning. It had absolutely everything we all loved and more than enough of everything and that hummus was amazing- I am converted (never liked it much but now I'm a fan).
With the frogs croaking and other night animal sounds in my ears I retire with my Creator's Name on my lips and as I drift off to sleep, I feel His joy in my spirit. And I know for sure He's got this.
