The Squirrel Who Eavesdropped

A comical thing happened yesterday. I was chatting with my neighbor, Robin when we suddenly heard a loud rustling, a crack, then a splat. It was one of our neighborhood squirrels. Apparently, he had climbed out on a limb that wasn't able to support him. So there he came down, limb and all. He was pretty stunned by the fall, but thankfully, he was okay and soon scurried away to do whatever it is that squirrels do.


We thought it was pretty interesting, because squirrels are usually very balanced as they prance around on limbs and telephone wires. I kidded with my neighbor that that's what the squirrel got for 'eavesdropping'. I guess the moral of this story is that when we get too close to the edge, not minding our own business, we too can lose our balance and 'fall off a limb'. God's creation is such an amazing thing to be seen, and to be able to learn lessons from!
