Starting out

This morning I was standing doing the washing up (which should have been done the night before). We hadn't had the best start to the day; Chloe started calling for us at half 6 (it's a Saturday) and then wouldn't stay quiet, which then woke her sister. We didn't handle it particularly well either. So I was feeling a bit grumpy, as I tried to scrub the dried on food from the plates from the night before.

To make things more interesting I thought I would put on some worship songs. In enjoying Jesus Culture songs at the moment. I was listening and singing along a bit and then I noticed out of the window some movement. At the end of our garden in the train line, but before you get to that there is a steep slope with lots of tall trees (if you couldn't hear the trains, you can imagine it's just forest beyond). The movement was two squirrels jumping in the trees beyond our garden. They were chasing each other up and down, leaping impressive distances and only just catching the next branches.

It was an unexpected moment when you feel God's presence. I am such a believer of God revealing himself in nature and having that special couple of minutes, listening to truth about God and watching his creation, makes me feel 'back on track' for the rest of the day. Very thankful for it!
