Catching a Glimpse

I'm still not sure I appreciate it being dark by about 4:30/5:00 pm, because I have meetings and Bible Studies and various events at night that I sometimes have to drive to and so it seems that most of my driving here lately has been in the dark.  There are some things I like about driving at night - I get to see some great stuff in the dark, like incredible stars on clear nights.  I also get to see all sorts of critters - owls, deer, coyotes, fox, raccoons, etc.  You never know what you might see on any given nighttime drive.  One of the things I always love to see, but don't get to very often are Jack Rabbits - yes they do exist but not in very big numbers and it always makes me smile when I see those great big ears and those great big back feet.  They look a little out of proportion and awkward, and yet they fascinate me.  They represent one more thing that points to God's creativity and diversity.  He is bigger than anything we can ever imagine and what an imagination He has - to create so many different species of animals and plants.  I'm sure there is a purpose for those great big ears and those great big back feet on a jack rabbit.  Hhhhhmmmm, maybe I will have to do some research and see if I can find the reason behind those characteristics.  In the mean time I hope to continue to catch a glimpse of anything God has created, because each discovery makes me smile and reminds me that if God can put that much detail into each of the animals and plants, how much more detail he has put into creating each one of us, his precious children.  Thank you God for your love, grace and mercy and for making each of us just the way you designed us to be.
