As I clean up around my garden muttering my irritations with the various bugs that come from miles around to eat that which I have labored over I was reminded via this post, that God has a reason for each of His creatures.

Unlike we humans they are doing what God called them to do .

But just what is that? Well this post will remind us why slugs are here. And maybe instead of pouring piles of salt over them we can gently guide them (with copper collars) to other areas of our garden that are in need a bit of tidying.

I am also reminded that as Christians we don’t always do what God calls us to do and as a result we could be missing a big blessing He has for us.

It was very hard for us to sign up as foster parents so soon after our stillbirth. Not for the reasons one might think, that of too many children being thrust upon us at once. No it was just hard to do anything. Anything at all.  But we knew what God had called us to do so we didn’t ask questions. We persevered and went through the process, cared for many sweet innocent babies and 6 years later, as I caress the sweet face of God’s great blessing I am reminded what we could have missed had we not done what God called us to do.

Trying to do what God has called me to do as we enter this season of Thankfulness
