Nearly four years have passed since my last entry on this blog. Today God's whistle calls me to start again. During this season of Lent 2018, I hope to connect with at least one person each day. Maybe you are that one today? If so, here's a haiku for you.
Missing Moose
On the Road to Town
I feel his presence near me
laying on my heart.
Driving in the car on the gravel road, I stopped to take
a few photos. I don't often walk this way anymore
since the northwest wind blows bitterly cold and fast freezes my nose.
Covered, it steams up my glasses. Since Moose passed late last summer, I walk the opposite way protected by the forest cover and up to a scenic hilltop overlook.
Anyway, as I snapped pictures of old
haunts, my heart ached. I reached up to my chest and cried, “I miss
Moose!” At that moment, I felt the Scandinavian moose hanging from
my neck. I hadn't worn it in years, but felt moved to find the
necklace this morning. Why? I didn't know until this moment.
Moose was with me laying on my heart
– in name and in spirit. Look at my pup's pose and how it matches
the pendant moose's stance. I took the photo of Moose on the Road to
Town almost one year ago to the day of my encounter with his spirit
on Monday, February 12, 2018.
I am always amazed how God can connect us with others when we open our eyes, ears and minds to His call. It reminds me of the Bible verse from Zechariah 10:8a: "When I whistle to them, the will come running for I have redeemed them."
Think about that the next time you whistle. Maybe God's calling you too?
