Morning Comfort

When I looked out the window this morning, I saw a sky washed in blue with hints of pink. Very soft and soothing; like a pretty down comforter. This sky shot is quite a contrast to the vibrant colors of yesterday's photo. But it just goes to show that each morning is new and different. We don't know what the day will bring, 

but we can choose to enter it with joyful expectancy. 

"The moment when you first wake up in the morning is the most wonderful of the twenty-four hours.  No matter how weary or dreary you may feel, you possess the certainty that, during the day that lies before you, absolutely anything may happen.  And the fact that it practically always doesn't, matters not a jot.  

The possibility is always there."  

~Monica Baldwin

 "The LORD’S lovingkindnesses indeed never cease, 

For His compassions never fail. 

They are new every morning; 

Great is Your faithfulness." 

Lamentations 3:22-23

Deerly Beloved

"The mountains are never so far apart but the animals find one another." ~ American Proverb

Every time I see the above photo of the deer outside my neighbor's house, I smile. They seem to be in a confab, don't you think? What could they be talking about?
Which neighbor has the tastiest garden?
Best spots to bunk for the night?
The challenges of fawn-rearing?


It's been a great summer for deer watching. A few weeks ago, I caught this doe nursing her twin fawns in our driveway in the early morning. . .

After breakfast the fawns went exploring. . .

and ended up in the dirt pile next to our house. . .

I'm pretty sure they were the same frolicking fawns I photographed a month earlier behind our barn. . .

When I snapped this photo of one of the twin fawns, I thought of the joy of the redeemed of which Isaiah wrote: 
"Then will the lame leap like a deer,
   and the mute tongue shout for joy." 

May the joy of the redeemed be yours.
