Following Jesus

Our family cat, Sarah, loves to stay right up under your feet sometimes, not unlike small children. Usually Sarah does this when she wants something (food, milk, attention). It occurred to me that God longs for us to follow him the way our family pets do. God's intention is for us to follow closely, to stay in tune with what he is doing in our world and in our lives. Jesus, called the first disciples, "Come and follow me." So too, he beckons you and me to follow him, wherever he leads us, even when we don't know where that is or how to get there...he does!
