All Creatures Great and Small!


















 
One of the wonders of being on this mission, high in the mountains, is the ability to be surrounded by the Lord's creations every day.  Being a "critter lover" this has been a pure delight.  To be be able to open my door or pull up the blinds of  my  windows and not know if it will be a deer, a moose, a hummingbird, or a ground squirrel that will greet you. .


     




All of these pictures are right outside our door or windows!












When we go to our assignment down at the lake, we marvel at it's beauty, but also at all the critters that come to greet us; ducks, geese, deer, and the moose.  The beaver come in the evening, but leave the evidence of a busy night to greet us-another tree has bit the dust.






 




The amazing thing is that the animals and birds seem to sense that this is a special place and that we are special and they don't run from us or our camper guests.  I think we marvel at them, and they marvel at us.

I just need to remember. . . All creatures great and small, our Lord God made them all.
