Last Wednesday while at Emerson Park I saw my squirrel friend again. I figure God sends me this squirrel every week to remind me of Him. Squirrels typically run about so hyper-like and remind me of an ADHD me.
The hummingbird which God sent to me more than once while at the park in the weeks before, remind me of an ADHD hyper me too. Hummingbirds fly fast and zip all over very quickly.
Through these hyper creatures which God created, God wants me to remember to slow down sometimes or I will likely miss what it is that God is trying to tell me.
My squirrel friend was quickly running around the trunk of a tree and in that same tree there was a small bird near the squirrel and she looked like a woodpecker of sorts. She was gripping the tree trunk with her feet but the odd thing about this woodpecker was the behavior she was displaying.
Typically woodpeckers peck at trees very rapidly with hyper, super sonic speed which sounds a bit like a jack hammer. Rat-a-tat-tat, rat-a-tat-tat. (I can't type as fast as the noise sounds!) (wink!) God sent me this particular woodpecker to remind me to slow down because this woodpecker was slowly pecking at the tree with seemingly careful inspection.
For quite a long time, I watched the hyper squirrel clinging to the tree trunk while she was being completely still. And only a few feet away, this calm woodpecker was pecking very slowly on the same tree trunk. I realized God wanted to get my attention and have me take notice of the comparison in a tangible way, and I knew there was something to be journaled about this observation.
God wants me to slow down once in awhile. Be calm. Inspect the beauty around me, all of which are wonderful creations made by God. Be still and listen or look for God's messages in my life or I might miss them all together in being too hyper.
That was the message God wanted to remind me about, so God sent me a hyper squirrel and an unusual woodpecker in order for me to "get it." God is good!
Be still and know that I am God.....Psalm 46:10
