I have my morning coffee and devotional while watching the birds and squirrels in my backyard. Our yard borders many acres of forest and ponds, so we have seen our share of fauna, some of it very unusual. I have been blessed to have deer and fox pass by within 10 feet of me, while I sat very still. This morning, as I do every morning, I was gazing at the woodpile when a fox just trotted out of the woods. He stopped short (she? not sure!) and went into stalking mode. The squirrels were merrily feasting on spilled birdseed and had no idea Death was Stalking. Long minutes passed as I watched the fox creep closer to the oblivious squirrel... but at the last moment, the squirrel finally saw Impending Doom and raced off. The fox relaxed and after a moment's regret, he melted back into the trees.
It was so incredibly rewarding, after months and months of staring into the woods, waiting to see what you know is out there, to actually see it. It was a wonderful blessing.
