Many of you know that I've been ill with high fevers for about 2 weeks. I've roller-coastered between self-pity and angry frustration at my enforced exile.
Many of you also know that Camelot Estates, where I live, is truly a deer preserve. So....I have many dear deer families with baby Bambi's on my property. I complain that they enjoy a gerbera and geranium buffet at my expense, but during my illness I received a gift from one Mama doe and her still-spindly-legged baby:
Every morning at 7:30 Mama brought Bambi to a resting place under the deck by my bedroom window. I would sit in my recliner and watch the drop-off and the later pick-up in the afternoon. During this time, Bambi obediently stayed put except for yesterday when she ran from a noise and ended up in my carport unable to figure out how to leave....'soon solved when Mama came to the rescue. I have even watched Mama bathe Bambi and really enjoyed each moment of this experience!
All of that Disney aside to say this: my dear deer days have truly been a gift in the middle of my gripe! These moments have been like prayers and His presence...surrounding and gifting each day with a living object talk of love and care! For deer and for Kim. Hmmmmm. There is ALWAYS a gift in the down times. 'A good reminder for all!
Thanks to all who checked on me, transported me and prayed for me...and for keeping W2W right on track without me!!
Kim
