Pigeon Surprise

When we pulled over for gas, my husband spotted a hawk in a tree. Since I always have my camera by my side, we stopped to get his picture. But before I could get the shot off, he flew to a light post.

Just as he landed on the post, a pigeon had the same idea and headed for the same post. The hawk caught the pigeon by surprise. The pigeon made his fast retreat and flew away.

How many times in life have I done the same thing. I think I am heading for a safe place only to realize just in the nick of time that there is danger ahead and make my fast retreat.

I have one advantage over the pigeon. I given my life and trust to God. So when I find myself in harms way, I turn it over to God.
