Sunday, the day after the birthday party, we decided that we needed a family nap. Perfect sabbath activity no? So we're sleeping, when all of a sudden we hear a thud followed by massive chicken squawking in our backyard (we have 6 chickens).
Eric hopped out of bed to go assess the situation and make sure that all was well in the hen house. Several minutes later he returned to bed where I continued to sleep and could care less about what had happened outside. Since it was an interesting story, Eric decided to share what had happened while I had continued to snooze.
Now our chickens are fenced into an area at the back of our yard. However, this is no ordinary fence. This fence was constructed using the old windows from our house. I wanted to quarantine those little terrors, but I still wanted to watch them run around and point at how silly they were with Tali. Needless to say, the fence is clear and one can easily see through them.
Apparently a hawk or some other bird of prey had tried to swoop down and grab a chicken. Unfortunately for the bird, it flew straight into one of the windows (the thud) and then after regaining its bearings had flown off again leaving a pile of feathers behind. (Eric said he saw the bird as it was flying off)
Oh God, Thank you for the invisible walls of protection that you have placed around those who love and trust you. Thank you for caring enough to never sleep through our cries for help. Thank you for chickens. Thank you for family nap times. Hallelujah! Amen
Psalm 33:20 NIV
"We wait in hope for the Lord; He is our help and our shield."
