Just last evening, I posted the beginning of a list of the best things in life that are free.Tonight, God gave me a glimpse of one of those "best things" in the presence of three delicate fawns. Sure, you can say it's coincidence that I listed "watching a fawn wander through a meadow." And if you're so inclined, you can even believe it.
But I saw not one, but three white-tailed beauties frolicking through the only open, wide green space near my apartment building. All this, as I returned from a long walk where I poured out the mysteries and thoughts of my heart and mind to my Creator.
Sometimes these walks are the only way for me to process the deeper things that are moving and shifting, the questions and musings, the worries and what-ifs.
And when I saw this unlikely sight, I felt as if my Maker was holding my heart, as if he was reminding me that as I walk through life, he will be in the details, no matter what life brings. No matter what comes.
Brilliant joys, shattering lows, big transitions, unknown plot lines that have yet to be written in my story.
He may show up in the playful antics of a fawn. He may thunder into my thoughts through a lightning storm. Or hold me through the arms of a beloved. Or awaken the jaded parts of my heart through the laughter of a child.
He may do whatever he pleases. But whatever that might be, he will never stop loving me.
