As the deer pants for the water so my soul longeth after thee...


Just a moment ago - okay a few moments ago - while I was working on my blog and updating Facebook, I glanced out the window and saw this beautiful sight!


I quickly grabbed the camera and after calling the kids to come see and taking the picture, I thought there HAS to be a divine message in this and so there was....


Just as this buck and the doe and fawn before him (they didn't hang out for the photo op) were looking for food in the snow - I need to be longing for the Lord. I should be longing for every bit of Him that I can get.... and yet, I think I tend to just stand by hoping someone will drop some crums in my lap and I don't go longing for all of Him.


So - I am reminded that as this deer was searching for food so I am to be longing each day for more of my Savior. Just thought I would share this thought with you!
