We had some very interesting visitors this past Sunday! As we were getting ready for church this past Sunday morning, my husband glanced out the window and got to enjoy a rare sight – two deer in our church parking lot! He quickly grabbed my camera and snapped some photos. It made for a pleasant start to a wonderful day in the Lord’s house. 

Today has been a difficult day for me, but even so, my Father reminded me that He is there. He allowed a female Cardinal to pay me a visit on my window sill in the midst of a tearful time! She was beautiful and reminded me that Jesus cares for me even more than the beautiful bird which He lovingly created. I believe the Lord uses His creation to brighten our days and remind us that He is near. I certainly needed these reminders the past two days. I praise the Lord for His faithfulness and love! I’m only sorry that I couldn’t get a picture of the Cardinal! Both of these felt like a warm embrace from the Lord.

The Lord also brought to mind these verses which were of great comfort.

Romans 8:31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?

Hebrews 13:6b …for He hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
