The Earless Cat

We have a cat that has been visiting us. He looks like he only has one ear. The left ear is almost missing,that's why I call him the earless cat.I'm pretty sure he has a home,he just comes over to mooch food.He's really a friendly chap,but the other day he hissed at me,and then 5 seconds later rubbed all over me,real friendly like.It's real easy to be a great Christian when I'm in church,or rubbing shoulders with fellow believers.Then I get out in the world,and situations arise,and I start hissing, just like the earless one,and sometimes just as quickly. That ought not to be.Lord,I'm sorry for that contradiction that is way too evident in my life. Help me to be a more consistant follower of you.I always chuckle when a cat hisses, even if it's at me.Lord,help me to realize that my "hissing" is no laughing matter to You,but something that needs to be worked on and fixed with the help of Your amazing grace.
