There he was, all alone in the garage! Yes, they found hopper hopping along the garage. He was so tiny and so alone. They carefully followed him and found a blanket to wrap him in and take care of him for a period of time. Then we realized he was not alone. There were more brothers and sisters!! We found the nest in our front yard under a tree, lots of ground cover to hide them! What a find, seriously one of the most adorable and exciting moments here. The hardest part was letting him go so the mother could take care of him. Many a tear was shed as they had to let go. My heart broke. They wanted to make a bunny hutch and care for all of them. The time they had with hopper will stay in their memories for years to come. For me it was another reminder of how good God is in so many wonderul ways. This was a morning when Dunc was in the er (turns out he had emergency gall bladder surgery to follow! That is another blog entry to come!!) so the bunny came at the right time to fill our kids hearts with joy and wonder. I was so thankful for the bunny. God showed up at our home in such a creative way to sustain us all, love it!!!
So, bunny is back in his nest and now their job is watchman. We have many cats around that keep on peeking in and bugging the poor bunnies. They run out and chase the cats away! Funny to watch. Right now I can't help but thinking of how we are cared for. God so intentionally loves us and cares for us. We are never alone and always in his loving hands.
I am thankful for His truth and how His words in the bible penetrate my soul. As I read through the Psalms I am always wowed by the words of the Psalmist. So real, so perfectly describing my heart and needs. A comfort and gift as our family walks through life.
