Deer


Photobucket

We were on our way home from Lima tonight and we saw two deer. We stopped right next to them and watched them for a long time. They didnt' seem to be scared of us! I grabbed my camera and snapped away (of course!). When I was editing the pictures, I thought of the verse in Psalm comparing the author's spiritual thirst for God to the deer's thirst for water.

I also thought of the song, "As The Deer"

As the deer panteth for the water
So my soul longeth after thee
You alone are my hearts desire
And I long to worship thee

Chorus
You alone are my strength my shield
To You alone may my spirit yield
You alone are my hearts desire
And I long to worship thee

You're my friend and You are my brother,
Even though you are a king.
I love you more than any other,
So much more than anything.

I want You more than gold or silver,
Only You can satisfy.
You alone are the real joy Giver,
And the apple of my eye.
