I h...I know what you're talking about, Martha. I have so often wished that I could tell the chipmunks, and squirrels, and deer that I am not a threat. That I will not hurt them. That I am a friend. But, there is always that barrier. I am human, and they are not.<br /><br />It reminds me of what God did to come across that barrier. He indeed became ONE of us to show us His love. Might I never forget to be thankful for the humbling He took on in order to save us, and to tell us that He is our eternal Friend.<br /><br />GOD BLESS!Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00840994989201507494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009456656795153408.post-34191884771418756412015-02-09T04:19:57.008-08:002015-02-09T04:19:57.008-08:00Dear and respected Martha,

Yes...Ah, Vishnu, such wonderful insight as always. Yes, the squirrels have already thanked me through my books (with Grey/Racer) and in entertaining us endlessly with their action. On top of that, as you said, they have inspired this devotion which, I pray, draws others closer to the Lord in their Christian journey. Oh, there is so much for which to be thankful!<br />Love and blessings!Martha Jane Orlandohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11620499267401065780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009456656795153408.post-9096339143306017152015-02-07T17:58:14.106-08:002015-02-07T17:58:14.106-08:00Thank you so much, dear Privy!

They can't be around you but their experience, through your eyes, is a great reminder for all of us.

This morning, I thanked the Lord for a good night of sleep and then a bit later for keeping me safe when I took a short drive to warm up my car (it's quite snowy and icy here). I may have thanked the Lord for other blessings in between too. <br /><br />Love and blessings!Kim Jollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08670842504983601263noreply@blogger.com
