We had a strange appointment this morning
In the dark hour just before dawn
God sent a deer to meet our car
T’was a young’un, but not a fawn.
Brakes were applied with strength and speed,
The animal startled and leapt,
But the appointment that God had in His book
Was still most dutifully kept.
We marveled to see that creature get up
And run off out of sight.
A meeting with two tons of metal and yet
It bounded away with might.
And us? Why we were kept from harm,
Though with damage to the car.
But the deer most likely met His Lord,
A better appointment by far.

The next appointment for this post is in the morning.
Clever poem for “bump” in your day. A time when one can be very tempted to say, “but why Lord, we were on our way to sit at your feet and study your Word”. ✝️. So thankful you and Kris came out unscathed ❤️

Those “bumps” (as Barb called them) are often like big jolts. I am likewise thankful you and Kris were OK. I hope the Bambi was able to recover quickly, or instead quickly rest with Jesus. ❤ What about your car?

Damage to the left front. We’ll be getting estimates tomorrow. It could have been so much worse so we’re thankful to the Lord for his mercies.
