I quickly woke up to a very loud sound about three mornings
ago. It was a sound I could not grasp. Could it be a hurt dog? “What was it", I asked myself. I looked at the time on
my cell phone; which was 4:34 am and laid there for a few minutes. Then I said, “Well
whatever it is, God will reveal it to me soon”!
It was now 7:00 am and time for my granddaughter to
get up for school. My daughter always gets her up and ready; and I asked if she
heard that horrendous sound this morning. She said, “Yes”! Her husband got up
to see what it was, and said it was a coyote.
My son-in-law usually works nights, so when he woke
up for the day, I asked him what he saw. He said there were two very large
coyotes; one was underneath the balcony eating something, and the other one was
just about 3 feet away eating berries off a tree and digging in the ground for
more! He went on to say he stood there until they decided to move in another
direction ~ unnoticed!
“Hmmm, I wonder what this means”! “Could it be a
sign from God”, I said to myself. Anyway, I could not get that sound off my
mind nor the fact large coyotes were so close to civilization. So when I got a
chance I researched them on-line through National Geographic. What stood out to
me the most, above all of the other outstanding facts about them was; they form
strong family groups and once they find a mate, they stay with that mate for
life! They work together to hunt, raise their young, and feed them in unity as well!
What can humans take from coyotes who form strong
family groups? The fact that when a powerful family bond is formed, it is not
easily broken! Don’t take lightly the family bond that is deteriorating among
us. Get back to the family values; we all need to break chaos, hunger, theft,
disease, and an ungrateful society!
The Lord had said to Abram, “Go from your
country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you. I
will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name
great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and
whoever curses you, I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed
through you.” Genesis 12:1-3 NIV
