As the Deer . . .

I am not a television fan. I'd rather explore or research the internet . . . or today because it was so nice I took our family dog to a park for a walk. Dogs are permitted in the park -- but not on the walking path, so we had to find our fun elsewhere. But God always provides. As we entered the park at about dusk . . . you guessed it . . . there were several deer grazing on the edge of the woods. Gentle and serene. Now usually our little terrier (like Toto--only her name is Rigby) is ready to "take-on " the world or any larger or smaller creature in her pathway. She thinks she's fierce. But there was no barking . . . there was no sense of "let me at them." She was calm and gentle . . . as the picture she was seeing -- the deer on the edge of the trees. Funny how God connects creatures -- human and not.

It sounds very natural. Are there animals in heaven?
