Finding Jehovah in a moment...

SusanB said:
Even in the concrete jungle of the Honolulu international Airport Uber waiting lot we see Jehovah’s wonder in a family of fluffy chick's dutifully following their mother's example of foraging.

I bet the airport cafes do a roaring trade with scrambled eggs and chicken fritters with all those jet engines around.

Ana….You have been found guilty of Pongungida and as such, I sentence you to listen to 24 hours of President Biden’s recorded speeches and to read the British governments planning application for a third runway at Heathrow airport. 🤣

Me moriría. Me colapso mal cuando alguien habla muy despacio. Me agobian solo imaginármelo. Me sale una vena muy poco racional. Le tiraría un par de zapatos al más estilo Bush. Que glorioso momento sería. 🤣

It does make one wonder about the source of the restaurant chicken. There is a little town where Brooks and I used to live in the Hawaiian countryside, Hauula. I often say, I wonder if they are serving Hauula chicken.

If you care to share, when was your most recent one of those moments... that moment when you're beautifully reminded of the beauty beyond the tribulations that come up against our faith on the daily.

Yesterday, after a pretty tough last couple weeks, and a whole lot of uncertainty as far as the job— and for that special spice flavoring, an endangered elderly person has been brought into our lives, and we're helping as we are able as we get familiar with the resources available in the system of things for such ones among our populace. We're praying hard over this one. It's pretty bad, but the available options are coming into focus. Plenty and more.

Did I mention it being an especially tough last couple of weeks?

The sort of stuff where you just throw your hands up, completely weighed down with the anxieties of life, and not a clue except that we got through today, and today will just have to be enough. Someone who was both insightful and wise once noted that tomorrow will have its own troubles (anyhow).

I'll take my Yep to go, please.

I will never take any measure of credit in us getting through these days of late, or ever, really and that's the fact. I can't even tell you how Jehovah is doing it, but here I sit, I am done with the demands of the day and now can commit to my home and family for a few hours before tomorrow dawns on me. (see what I did there? :P )

Anyhow, all that's been going on and yesterday, here I am, pretty much whimpering beneath Life of late at this point, and I'm driving up my street toward home and there they were. I was surprised to see them this early into dusk; it was a first, in fact. Usually they come through around 4-4:30am.

But it's what I needed. When I needed it.

The grace, the gentleness. The speed at which they move, I could go on.

Anyhow, I appreciated getting to see them from down the street, but was secretly hoping they wouldn't flee as I both approached AND still had to back the car in!

Two ran off behind our dying red barn; the one just moved over into the yard more but watched me pretty closely. Still, I was able to take care of business getting the car backed in, moving slow.

The brave one waited a few moments (I didn't get out of the car, are you kidding?!) and then made the way back to what we put in the driveway for whomever (squirrels, crows, pigeons, chipmunks, etc), and here came prancing the other two, and this moment... one of those moments, lingered for a little while longer as they finished things off, and one by one pranced and then leaped off between the barn and our neighbor's house and toward the railroad.

Such elegance. Such harmony and beauty as they each did their part in covering their 360 while chomping away on what Jehovah had provided them by moving Deb and me to be the softies we are when it comes to animals.

It was a scene that unfolded to become what I needed, so full of peace, a reprieve from Life. Evidence that Jehovah is there, even when it's feeling like He isn't.

I said a thankful prayer to our Father in the Heavens— but not before I sorted out how to snap some photos to capture this moment to share with Deb. 🤳

I should've grabbed the drive-cam's memory card, but hindsight and all that. 🤦‍♂️

Anyhoo, I'd enjoy reading about your most recent moment!

We dont have quite the wildlife that the US has wandering onto our streets. In Wales you are more likely to encounter sheep roaming about. I'm told that the woodland by my house has a few deer in them, I have yet to spot any.
My recent moment was the birth of my granddaughter.. Harper Eve, a healthy 8.7 pound baby girl. The picture below is my son with Harper having a snooze. It brings back so many memories of when I first became a parent. An absolute joy. Life is a miracle and gift from our loving heavenly father and always amazes me.

Food is scarce for them in the winter. I see you threw some corn down for them. Maybe Jehovah will throw some "corn" down for you in appreciation? ;)

I put down a bucket with some corn in it but the deer haven't been around in a while. Not to worry. A raccoon who clearly can't push himself away from the table found it instead.
