Proverbs 16:18 KJV Pride goeth before destruction, And an haughty spirit before a fall.
The perfect picture of pride and it's treachery came from a little gray kitten and an empty stock tank pool! The Lord blessed us with a batch of baby kitties five orange and one gray little girl. There are few things more entertaining to watch than kitties! :) On this particular day their playful antics led them to the empty stock tank pool. While her brothers got into the empty pool and romped around learning how to jump high enough to get back out, little gray sat on the thick lip of the pool looking down on them. But that wasn't enough for her, the lesson on pride came when she decided to strut around the lip and haughtily stick her nose in the air. This of course resulted in her slipping and nearly falling off the outside of the pool. She wildly twisted and stretched to catch herself and haul herself back up before she completely fell off. Looking around as if saying “oh , she meant to do that!” didn't cover the fact that she learned not to get too big for her britches again. Pride always leads to problems, even when you're a baby kitty! :)
