Haying With Foxes
Yesterday, I was raking the rows of hay before we baled them. From my tractor seat I saw two red, long-tailed foxes hunting for groceries in the field. It is easier for the foxes to shop when the hay has been cut into rows. I realized that while I was simply harvesting hay, I was being helpful to someone else. We are more connected in this world than we realize. Now and again, God gives us moments of grace to see this connection.

I have been helpful, too. This summer I dug and planted and weeded and hoed my garden (did I mention weeding?) all for the enjoyment of the local rabbits. Boulder County has seen an explosion of rabbits this year and I swear they're all in my garden.
ReplyDeleteI will rethink my position on this matter and will try to see it as a moment of grace.
I promise, I'll try!
We are looking forward to your return to Boulder. We've missed you!
