Fingerprint Fridays: Life Around Us

By MAD21

My mother-in-law lives near a nature conservatory. We enjoy the drive to her house because you never know what kind of wildlife you might see. In the last week, we've seen a Blue Heron, hawks, deer, rabbits, chipmunks and a really cool box turtle.

I know that having a bird choose an area around your house to build it's nest is something lots of people experience, and while there are a lot of people who do not like it, our family loves it. Probably because the birds are good at choosing areas where the mess they make doesn't matter.

We have been watching this nest of Robins (residing on the front porch of my mother-in-law's house) for the last few weeks. My girls have LOVED watching them grow. And were surprisingly happy when they finally left the nest this past weekend.

I love that we can experience these small fingerprints of God, and the joy of watching the animals that live around us. Even the pesky squirrels that eat all the food out of the bird squirrel feeders in our own front yard.

Fellow blogger Beki at The Rusted Chain has a really great weekly post she does every Friday called "Fingerprint Friday." We are to look around and see where we can see God's fingerprints. Is it in nature? Kids? Animals? Anywhere? Go find out where Beki saw God this week, and be sure to check out the other bloggers who linked their stories as well.
