Early this morning I rushed to post some letters before the postman arrived. The sky was unusually dark and threatening with the strong sound of thunder in the distant. A storm was arriving soon. I hurried across my lawn with my letters crunched in my hand. Some unknown reason I looked up for a moment. In my neighbors yard was a most beautiful sight. A doe with her fawn were munching on some lovingly planted flowers. I stopped in my tracks. This creature looked at me while I stared back with such awe. For a brief moment the doe and I connected. She did not appear to fear me. In the timeline of life this is one of those moments that I relish. The doe began to move away with her fawn trailing her. Once again she stopped and looked back at me. I lifted my hand to wave farewell and to myself I thanked her for this precious moment. Farewell to a loving mother from another. Life in Tennessee has beautiful and unexpected moments.
The lesson: Take time on your journey through life to stop and acknowledge those precious moments that God sends your way. Amen
