This morning I took the kids outside to play while Bill and I prepared to open our pool. During the prep work Bill says "I think I found the frog you've been hearing". I have been hearing a very loud croaking frog for about two weeks now. "He", the frog, fell between the deck and the pool side into the gravel below. I called for the kids to come and see him and by then he had jumped and was clinging to the side of the pool. I told the kids to bring a bucket and we would "transplant" him to a safe place. I'm always worried that our dogs will get them and while I'm not terribly fond of bugs, rodents or insects, I would not want my dogs to kill them (well....maybe spiders). So we decided on a nice tree outside of our fence in the back. When we put that frog on the tree you could barely see it! It was almost invisible. God designed this frog so that it would be safe. Just totally amazing.
Made me wonder, do I stop long enough to really look at God's creation? I'd like to think I do when the opportunity arises. Lately, I've been in awe of so many things. I take each morning to thank God for the new day. My study of Ecclesiastes has really been making me think about the important things in life. This morning I began chapter 5 & 6 and the study asks the question "What Does It Take To Be Content?" I was certainly content watching that little frog on the side of that tree!! I hope you each take time to be content this long holiday weekend. I pray you are able to enjoy God's creation and his specially designed creatures!
Have a God Day!
