Look both ways

This morning on the way in, I was driving down the road when a cute grey squirrel was perched on the side of the road checking out the traffic going north.

I laughed at the fact God had created this little creature smart enough to know to look both ways before crossing. Maybe I shouldn't have laughed; maybe I should have taken notice!

Before I could travel down the road 50 more feet,there to the right on the ground lay a raccoon. Stiff and dead as a door nail, paws reaching to the Heavens. I fell into praise mode at that point.

Thanking GOD profusely for His Grace and Mercy towards me and those around me.

Something so simple as looking both ways meant the outcome of these two little creatures of God's. Sometimes I need to stop and assess as well as prepare, daily. In the hustle bustle of it all, sometimes I forget just who is in charge here. Who is the big picture and not what. We are given such great rights from the Kingdom of God, half of the time we miss the abundance and power given by complaining, doubting, fearing, etc. If we would stop to examine our circumstances, our next steps, our decisions, emotions and ideas, like the little squirrel,we would be able to enjoy the freedom we are so freely given. To Trust God's Plan, altho sometimes it is difficult, is the only way.In many instances, I have wondered why I am in the midst of something,when that very something was the very answer to an issue I had totally forgotten about. They had nothing to do with one another but yet GOD had tied them together like a beautiful macrame piece of art.

Trust and obey is what I tell my grand kids.

It seemed to work for the little squirrel.
