God’s Puzzle!

 

Who doesn’t love a puzzle?  I saw one today that God created.  Well, it seemed like a puzzle.  I took a drive through the refuge this afternoon.  I was hoping to see an eagle.  But I was amazed at the scene He drew before me

                I was driving slowing past a small hill covered with frozen brown foliage, bare trees and bushes, lots of fallen leaves.  I noticed a tiny wisp of white back in the bushes.  I slowed to a complete stop and watched.  When the wisp of white moved, I saw the deer, an adult sized doe.  As she took only one step towards me, an amazing thing happened.  Almost immediately, I could see the other four.  An ear jerked, a white tail twitched, another’s leg moved.  It was like they had appeared from thin air.  I carefully scanned the rest of the area, thinking there could be more.  But that was it, the five.  They were not troubled by my van/presence.  They munched slowly and diligently among the leaves and occasionally one or another would look my way.

                I watched a long time, undisturbed by any other vehicle.  An amazing slow motion picture show before my eyes on a cold January afternoon.  As I gently pulled away, the deer seemed not to notice.  I glanced at the dash, 4:35 pm and 27 degrees.  Well then, I could go home.  I’d found His blessing for January 24, 2014.  Or rather it found me.  Wow, who doesn’t love a puzzle?
