Persistence

There is a biblical scripture that says ~Pray without ceasing~ (1 Thes. 5 v17) and I heard smeone preaching on just this verse, and one of the ways he explained it was that we should pray... and never give up. Furthermore, that if our lives were indeed a prayer, then in everything, we should strive to attain the very best we could be... we should never give up when we meet with difficulties.

Yesterday Leto was a perfect example of ~pray, and never give up~ well, never giving up anyway. Chris was putting up hooks to hang the ladder in the garage, we have a pitched roof on the garage so the water tank is up in the loft space, and there is an access hole, the lid of which was open as Chris was lining up the hooks so they screwed into beams and not just celing plaster. Leto climbed up the ladder and tried to jump into the access, Chris lifted him down. He did this on numerous occasions, and everytime the outcome was the same, Leto ended up on the floor. Then we stood back and counted.. he was up to eleven tries when we got fed up and moved the ladder! He ever lives in hope of getting just that bit higher, or into that dark and inviting space. In cat terms, he prays without ceasing!
