I was away for a few days and was blessed to see God several times and in different places. I am truly grateful!

We made a trip up into the North GA mountains to visit family and stayed in Toccoa, GA. There is a Christian school there that is located in such a beauriful area. Back in the 1970's, the dam broke and around 30 or so people were killed. It was a terrible ordeal and I can remember listening to the news that morning while they were trying to figure out how many student, etc were missing. The dam broke in the wee hours before daybreak so there was no way to evacuate the dorms, etc.

ANyway, with God's blessing and love, they still have a most incredible corner of the world there. We were fortunate enough that the flowers were blooming, mountain laurel, rhodadendrums, ets. Its was amazing. The waterfall was beautiful and so very peaceful! I have never been able to understand how its possible for anyone NOT to believe in God when they see things in nature.

Then, on our way home, I stopped in Athens, GA to put flowers on my Mothers grave for Mothers Day. When we finished placing the flowers, we were just visiting and enjoying the breeze before getting back in the car for another 3 hours.

There was a bird that I could not recognize about 50 ft from us and she was carrying on like she was trying to tell us something. I mentioned to my family that it sure seemed like she was trying so hard to tell us something important to her. She would not give up. We were not going anywhere near where she was as we were done with placing out flowers, etc. Finally, I started walking slowly over toward her. The trees were surrounding the cemetary so there was no tree right around for her to guard. So as I got a little closer she jumped over a couple of feet and started acting like she could not fly. So I thought maybe she was hurt. I went a little closer, she went a little "sicker" and moving farther away from me. Mind you I was not getting close to her. I just wanted to see if her wing was hurt. I knew she would die out there because she could not get to any cover. Well, she kept talking and throwing her pitiful looking wing up and out and scooting all around on the ground. My family said she is hurt. She has to be. I told them to give me minute to look around. Sure enough, (I promise I was very careful and did not get too close) there on the ground under some silk flowers were three pretty speckled eggs! I was right. She was trying to "tell" us something! I told my hubby she is not hurt. She is trying to divert our attention away from her eggs. If she pretends she is hurt, normally whatever is there would go after her and she would keep her eggs safe. It was amazing to watch her. She was very determined and was not going to give up on tricking us away from those eggs! I had seen it on nature shows but had never seen it that up close and personal. We were all so intrigued and blessed to see the Mother on Mothers Day doing what God assigned her to do!

This was a special moment for us. We know God is watching out for us with everything we do. I am so thankful that we were able to see that exhibit of a Mothers love. I pick up on more things in nature than my husband does. I don't know if it just has to do with looking for it more when I am out or what. I am always checking things out like that cause there is so much to miss in nature.

Thank you for taking time to read this. I hope you are able to focus on the little things too. That is where some of the most remarkable things happen for me.
