I received a gift yesterday!!!!

We are all too familiar with the phrase "some of the best gifts in life are free".  Yesterday I was delighted to receive one of those gifts.  Yet again, I had squirrels trying to eat up all my birdseed . . . so I got Oreo all revved up, and opened the back door with him barking and running back and forth on the deck, and I was clapping as loud as I can, telling the little critters they were taking their lives into their own hands, and they'd better be glad Karl wasn't seated at the dining room table with his gun at his side.  As I  got Oreo back in, and got ready to close the door, I looked out through the now barren woods, and thought I saw yet another log (from last winter's ice storm) down on the ground.  As I moved to the side for a closer view I realized it wasn't a log, but a deer!  A beautiful doe . . . just bedded down in "Our" woods . . . near the house.   To my delight, as I looked around, I realized I was only seeing part of the gift!  At about six feet to the left of her was yet another doe . . . and at about six feet to the right of her was a third doe.  Oh, glorious day.  Here in the midst of hunting season "our does" know they have found a spot of safety and refuge in our back "yard".  Even if it is only for today . . . that was my "God sign" . . . a sign that he is with me, and wants me to enjoy his nature, even on a day when my mind is full of grief from another issue in my life.  My good fortune, for sure.  Ahhhh, thank you Heavenly Father, for your gift!!
