I hope you have all had a great week. The squirrels have been very busy storing food for the coming months, I see them everyday working so incredibly hard. I keep finding nuts in my planters outside! Apparently squirrels do this strategically, they "over bury" food incase animals steal their stored goods, incredible. A single squirrel can hide up to 10,000 nuts a YEAR! I love watching all the little animals work hard to prepare for the cold months ahead, much like having our spiritual reservoir ready for whatever lies ahead, so we can tackle that head on. Seems like preparing and planning is all part of God's design for all of us.
As we head into this coming week, let’s store up God’s word, grace, and love so we are ready for whatever comes our way. Have a great week and see you here next Friday.
