Little Gifts

Sitting outside just a bit ago watching a thunderstorm pass by, I got a little gift of joy. A young deer quietly stole into our backyard and walked within about 10 feet of my quiet place on the porch. She slowly wandered through on a zig-zag path, stopping now and then to eat some grass. Fireflies dancing around her, cloud lightning occasionally lighting  the sky overhead, she fit right into some amazing scene from a dream sequence of a Broadway show (okay, so maybe I did o.d. a little on the Tony Awards tonight…).

It’s the little gifts like these that just take my breath away. How did I get so lucky as to live in such an amazing place as this?

  1. Lu…
    THIS IS WHY YOU HAVE A CAMERA WITH YOU AT ALL TIMES.
    So tonight I got culture. I watched Casablanca AND An Ideal Husband with Amy tonight. She’s my culture-teacher. Also I found where the New Orleans Museum of Art is (on the way to her place). Suddenly, this Joe may find culture after all.

  2. Take a look back over the years, Lu… doesn’t look much like luck to me. Looks more like a woman who loves God following Him, holding His hand…
    He gives beauty too, not just travail.
