My little friends
As I have said before, there are many geckos in my house. I see them scurrying around every so often. They are always high up because as Nancy says they're avoiding the cats and dog! While this might seem creepy to live with mice-sized creatures that can scale walls, I infinitely prefer their guardian angel-like presence to the other options. They are keeping the monstrous, and possibly poisonous, insects at bay! I can deal with the geckos. In fact, I am very thankful to the geckos. Not only do they protect, but they also serve as a reminder for me. God works in our lives in ways that are behind the scenes. We might snatch glimpses of His work, but rarely do we realize how much He does for us (like the gecko). I am thankful these little guys can remind me how present my God really is!

Do any of them has an Australian accent? And if so is he trying to sell you car insurance?
ReplyDeleteI knew he was trying to tell me something!
DeleteOur grandchild of two years when he left Mexico was disappointed when he couldn't find the geckos behind the curtains in the States. We don't have them in Carcha as it's too cold here for them.
ReplyDeleteYour grandson sounds so cute!
