A buck in velvet visits

My daughter called early this morning. I'd already let the dog out on the porch as he loves sitting out there watching the birds and ground 'squirrels' plus any other activity going on.

I had just hung up from the call when I glanced outside in time to see a buck wander into the yard. I glanced toward the dog who just lay there, but went out to let him in anyway. The buck just stood there a while, wandered away and by the time I got back to my room, had turned around and was headed back into my view. People leaving from the church across the way must have startled him as he trotted off the direction he had come.

It is common to see elk in our meadow, but not deer. And he was alone, most are in at least small groups. Every time a deer has been seen like this withing my family, it has proven to be a message of some sort from the Lord Jesus Christ, our God. From what my daughter was saying, it may have been His way of letting her know my mom, her Mimi, was and will be with her today and is excited she got her job.

Maybe it means something totally different, but it is a blessing as always.
