So where i live we have little cute ground hogs or prairie dogs. well some kind of rodent.. a cute one but rodent none the less. Well these guys have a serious case of the grass is greener because they are always darting across the street.Whats so different on the other side I wonder? What ever it is, it is urgent because they don't wait for traffic to clear, they just go. Now for some people, with no heart this is not a problem, they just hit them, but for me i worry about their family and stuff like that.
When i first moved here I was a maniac. Because I drive by dairies to get to church.And where there are cows there are birds. Lots of them and they are on a suiside mission cause they dive bomb cars. So I've got birds swooping down in front of my car, ground hogs darting under my car, and me having a panic attack behind the wheel because I almost hit a car in oncoming traffic, all to give these little creatures a chance at life. My husband finally sat me down and in his gentle but matter of fact way said," You swerve for dogs, cows, horses and people not birds and ground hogs. You just hit them."
Yikes. So to be truthful I have killed a few but I said sorry as i did it.
On my way to church the other day i was stopped at a red light and out came a little ground hog. He ran under a car in the straight line that was also stopped at the red light. But then the light changed and my heart sank cause i knew i was going to see this little guy get killed. Well at just the right moment he darted to the next car who was turning left so they hadn't moved much. As they started to move the little guy lost his nerve and ran back to the safty of his side of the street. Wheww i said aa I saw he was safe.
Then it dawned on me that, that is probalby how God feels when we dart into wrong choices and sin. Hopeful we won't get creamed by bad choices. And I bet He has a big sigh when we finally run to the safety of our side of the street. I'm thankful I have a Savior who wants good for me. I'm glad His eyes are on me. Even in my mistakes because He can hold the cars still til I'm safe again.
Well just a little lesson God taught me. hope its helpful.
