This morning on my way to the barn I was stopped by the beauty of a large herd of deer grazing in the front pasture. When they heard me coming they stopped, thought for a minute then darted off over the pasture fence. The youngest was not so sure about jumping the fence and stopped short and poked around the fencing looking for a way through. She struggled a short while. One of the mature deer (mama I presume) stopped and looked back, when she stopped and looked all the others followed. She ran back to the fence nuzzled noses quickly and jumped back over the fence to take her little one to safety. The rest of the herd followed the wise mama and her youngster. I am so glad God allowed me this glimpse of animalistic love this morning. I am so thankful we are out here on all this land enjoying this glorious landscape of God's design.
After having witnessed this love of a mother for her young I was horrified to read the headlines of a mother shaking her baby to death for interrupting her Farmville time. -SOL- My heart weeps when I read the news. Sometimes I go on spells of not reading the news at all. I just don't want to know. Then there are times when I feel like when I do read these horrific stories Maybe my prayers for the victims and yes, even the abusers and murderers will make a difference.
