Just last week we had a plowable snow. The snow started early morning and was really coming down hard when I took out Tobias - the dog. I know it is snowing but I was dressed in culottes, sweat shirt, my old barn coat, and muck boots. Let's just say I was a vision but who was gonna' see me? I normally walk Tobias to the fields in front of my house. First wipe out was just a minor one knee to the ground. Mental note - things are slick under the new snow. Survived walking the dog, now on to the chickens. I have 2 small flocks of hens in separate buildings. First flock, all is well. Second flock all was going well; I went in the run and gave them water and food. I guess to understand you need to know that my honey built up the run so I had to take a step up on a small incline to get into the run. I exit, being oh so careful, everything was going really well until ... Took a step and the next thing I know I'm staring up into the sky. On the way down, my body had stopped but I was on uneven ground so my head kept moving. I heard an unpleasant muscle sound. When everything stopped, I laid very still. Tobias, the dog, comes and puts his face in front of mine. Finally, he was going to earn his keep and I was going to have a Lassie moment! Think of me as Timmy's mom. Nope he just looked and left. Well there went that Hallmark moment. I thought I may be living out an episode of Rescue 911. Anyone else remember that show from the 80's? Oh I was a vision there outside the coop just making a roadkill snow angel! After a moment, I knew nothing had been broken, and I've been humbled so many times at least this one didn't leave visible marks! I knew it was slick. I took precautions, but I still ended up on the ground making snow angels, why? Because of something unseen. Pastor Starr preached two sermons on 2/14/2021 'Achan, The Troubler of Israel' and 'The Profile of the Double-Minded Man'. Both sermons dealt with sins that many times go unseen but have disasterous consequences on the Christian and those around them. Let me encourage you on your walk today with the Lord to examine yourself and see if there are things that may cause you to fall.
