Sunlight dapples the terra cotta tiles at the back door,
which stands open to the many buzzing insects flying in. It’s a little risky
leaving the back door open. One summer evening a few years ago, a bat swept in,
and it was a couple of days and much hysterical hilarity later that we managed
to get him back outside.
Another memorable summer, Doug came into the bedroom
barefoot, ready for bed so the room was darkened. His foot slipped into
something warm and wet. He thought it was a wet washcloth, but to our amazement,
when the light was turned on, we discovered one of the cats had brought in a
headless rabbit, and Doug’s foot had slid into the neck and down into the guts.
Hysterical horror that night.
Life is full of surprises, full of colour, vibrant and rich.
A real blessing to be embraced and cherished, despite the challenges. God walks
with us in the good and the bad.
