Thank God For Small Miracles

There are times when God's creatures show how incredibly trusting they are of us. This coyote--a rather tall male--was resting in the shade outside my gate awhile back. My dogs were especially interested in what lay on the other side of the gate so I looked over. Boy was I surprised! I grabbed my iPhone and snapped this shot.

Then I filled a large Tuperware dish with water, took it out to him, and he drank while I applied flea and tick treatment down his back. I had to try because he was covered in ticks head to toe.

It was close to 100 degrees (F) that day and I felt really bad for him. He was so hot and thirsty that he let me pet his head while he drank! (DO NOT TRY THAT!) After he finished drinking, he looked up at me, right into my eyes as if to say, "Thank you," then split. I felt incredibly blessed by the experience!

Haven't seen him since, but I think about him often and hope he's getting on okay. Thank God for small miracles!
