The Lord your God is in your midst, a victorious warrior. He will exult over you with joy, He will be quiet in His Love, He will rejoice over you with shouts of joys. ~Zephaniah 3:17~

A fox at the waterbowl

It has been great reading back over the emails I have sent out over the years to the Wednesday prayer group.   Here is another one from 2009.

Good morning!

Another day of rain is on the agenda. I am still amazed at how much rain we are getting after so many extremely hot, dry days; truly a season of drought.

A fawn and its mom have been coming into the yard on a regular basis. While mom can drink from the bird bath, the fawn is too small to reach the water, so I put a green plastic bowl on the ground filled with water. During these hot, dry days, many deer were coming to drink but one day, (in the daylight) so did a small gray fox. 



God showed me that the little gray fox was so desperate, so thirsty, that it risked coming into the enemies (man's) territory for some refreshment. WHOA!!!!!  So now,   I am praying our lost  loved ones become desperate enough to come into Jesus', who they may see as the enemy, territory for some living water.
 
Thank you God for opening my eyes to You in the daily happenings in our lives.

    1. For several years, the area of Texas I am in has been in moderate to severe drought conditions. While we do not want to cause the deer and other wildlife to become dependent on us, we do try to supply some nourishment. In 2011, we had over 100 days of 100 degree+ days. The does did not get enough nutrition to have milk for their babies. Out of the 10 fawns that came with their mothers to eat the corn we threw out, only 3 survived. God tends to send the hurt and maimed our way to feed. It was sad to see the deer, barely able to walk, almost kill each other to get the food. Praying that this year, we have sufficient rain to turn these drought conditions around.
