A. A. Milne, the author of the Pooh books wrote, "Bouncing is what Tiggers do best". In the stories (none of which I have ever owned) Tigger bounces along on all fours with endless enthusiasm. This irritates Rabbit at times, rather intimidates Piglet and Eeyore was once bounced right into the river! They are all friends with this cheerful character.
Once upon a time I had a tiny snow globe with Tigger standing in a swirling cloud of sparkling glitter. That was, until this morning!
He didn't bounce!
Glass globe and tiled floor don't make a good combination.
Now Tigger stands all alone, less than two centimetres high, looking rather small and insignificant (though still cheerful)!
I guess things don't always work out the way you'd expect! Gotta be a lesson in there somewhere
Lord God, creator of all things,
who in your loving-kindness and care
meet our human needs:
with the dawn of each day
help us to set our hearts and hope upon you,
that we may show you in the world
as the universal and eternal king;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
