Squirrel Feeder
READ:
Psalm 65You crown the year with Your goodness, and Your paths drip with abundance. Psalm 65:11
Some years ago I placed a squirrel feeder on a fir tree a few yards from our home. Its a simple devicetwo boards and a nail on which to impale a corncob. Each morning a squirrel comes to enjoy that days meal. Shes a pretty thingblack with a round, gray tummy.
I sit on our back porch in the morning and watch her eat. She plucks each kernel from the cob, holds it in her paws, turns it around and eats the heart out of the kernel. At the end of the day no kernels remain, only a neat little pile of leftovers under the tree.
Despite my care for her, the creature is afraid of me. When I approach, she runs away, taking refuge in her tree and chattering at me when I get too close. She doesnt know that I provide for her.
Some people are like that with God. They run from Him in fear. They dont know that He loves them and richly provides them with everything for their enjoyment (Ps. 65:11).
Henry Scougal, a 17th-century Scottish minister, wrote, Nothing is more powerful to engage our affection than to find that we are [loved by] One who is altogether lovely . . . . How must this astonish and delight us; how must it overcome our [fear] and melt our hearts. Gods love is the perfect love that casts out fear (1 John 4:18).
O love that wilt not let me go, I rest my weary soul in Thee;
I give Thee back the life I owe,
That in Thine ocean depths its flow
May richer, fuller be. Matheson
Your loving heavenly Father never takes His eyes off you.

Just started reading “Here Is Your War”, his dispatches from 1942.
Incredible, absolutely incredible. Not the thing to drowse off by; reality is far more intense than fiction. Especially in the hands of a master.
RIP

He was a great war correspondent, and he never failed to give as much credit as possible to the soldiers that he was interviewing. His was a very adventurous life...and he brought WWII home through his stories, so everyone could know what was really going on.

Thanks, Kathy, for reminding us of Ernie Pyle.
His tagline was "This is Ernie Pyle, with the Marines. The Marines loved him.
If only modern day media types were with the troops they observe.
