Yesterday afternoon I popped up after a cat nap in time to see a hawk close by! A young red-shouldered hawk had perched on the pasture fence by the driveway. Curious, I watched him from the window. Hawks haven't been around much lately. The hawk seemed content to just be still in the sunshine and rest on the fence post. A warm welcome after recent heavy rains. He stayed there for so long, I went out in the yard to take a picture to share with you.
He stayed on the post, across the way, unruffled by my presence as I snapped away. His head tilted ever so slightly upward, the message was clear. Be still and listen.
Later, on our way out for a ride, the young hawk didn't flinch as the car backed down the driveway. He stayed focused, a sentinel at his post, and didn't give us a glance.
When an animal or a bird crosses your path, it's helpful to pay attention to their behavior. What were they doing at the time? Often it brings guidance on how to handle the issues in our life just now.
Hawk is the messenger from the higher realm, and this unexpected visitor delivered a message to sit tight for now. Pay attention to your surroundings, and listen for guidance from on-high. An opportunity will present itself if you stay vigilant.
I'm so thankful for these messages from God's angels. God speaks through nature, and knows just what we need to hear and when, and most of all the way that will touch our hearts and give us peace.
Better than email, they stir our soul and give pinions to higher thought.
Joyful blessings,
Rae Karen
