Dear Church Family,
Those of you have enjoy bird feeders know that it’s a
challenger to keep the squirrels away from your feeder. This morning I had a different guest. A raccoon was on our deck railing, contemplating
how he might access the treat that dangled four feet away from him.
Animals are getting a little braver lately, with fewer people
around. If you haven’t seen the news
reports and videos about this, you have to look them up – they are so fun. Deer
are strolling down the streets in Paris. Jellyfish are floating in the canals
in Venice. Mountain goats are grazing on the church lawn in Wales.
If you didn’t see it for yourself, you might not believe it.
God’s promises are like that, aren’t they.
They sound too good to be true.
“The wolf will live with the lamb, the leopard will lie down with the goat, the calf and lion and the yearling together… The cow will
feed with the bear, their young will lie down together…” Those words are from Isaiah 11:6-9.
Poetry? Metaphor? Symbolism? Or a promise of what will really
happen one day? Check out the pictures
on line, and you decide!
