God's Amazing Creature.... Up Close and Personal.......

One of God's Amazing Little Creatures Up Close and Personal........

This little fellow decided to drop by and visit with us. In this picture he is stuck to our glass door. I immediately ran and got my camera in order to get this shot. Isn't it amazing? If you click on the picture you will see more details like his eyes, mouth, nose etc. This picture is before I did any enhancements to it..........




This is the same picture as above but I used the computer to darken it and outline the little guy. Doesn't this one look so cool? It is so defined, look at his legs and arms he almost looks like he is tap dancing lol.........Enjoy!!!



We live on a homestead of 80 acres in the midst of pure serenity. It is such an amazing place to be. It is a place where we are always learning together as a family, by simply watching all of God's wonderful and amazing creatures who share the homestead with us. There are so many lessons to be learned from watching the animals that live around us.

When I sometimes allow life to become too hectic, God always makes a way to bring me back on track. He does this by creating a moment of awe. He brings along something that will cause me to stop what I am doing just to marvel at what He has made. When he brought Mr Grasshopper along it created one of those moments for me. I was so intrigued at that moment that I couldn't help but stop what I was doing. I simply had to enjoy the beauty of that most wonderful and amazing moment.

It is times like that I am reminded that God purposely creates those quiet moments in our lives. He does so in order to bring us to a peaceful and calm state in our hearts and minds. He creates simple pleasures in order to bring us to a place of serenity. A leading to those still waters. A place we are certain to find Him when life gets too loud and starts to drown out His small still voice.

They are His ways of reminding us life should be simple. Don't allow life to become a state of chaos that is not what God intended it to be. When we take the time to be still and enjoy God's wonder all around us we will always find our way back to Him if we somehow strayed off the path.

Dearest Lord, Your creations NEVER CEASES to amaze me. I am enthralled with each and every thing I see. Thank you for such fun lessons in nature such as this. Thank you for using such wonder to bring me back to those still waters so I can once again marvel in your presence. In Jesus name I pray, Amen~
