Woodpeckers and Bunnies

While getting ready for church this morning, I heard a woodpecker in the front yard and he was pecking away at machine gun speed. I glanced about but couldn't see where he was. He kept firing away with his beak pecking repeatedly, sounding like a jack hammer beating on something hollow.

It made me remember what God told me through his woodpecker messenger once before. This woodpecker was reminding me that God wants me to "slow down." Calm the thoughts and "be still." "Don't be too hyper or you will miss the message that I want you to learn."

When we drove into our driveway after church, my little cotton-tailed bunny friend was waiting on the front lawn. I guess God wanted to doubly remind me to "slow down" and keep the ADHD thoughts from bouncing about so fast. Be still. Slow down. Just listen in stillness. God sent me this bunny messenger today in addition to the woodpecker, to make sure I will "get it."

.....faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word of Christ. - Romans 10:17
