Many times I spend my time in the garden just thinking about different things, sometimes I pray, and just talk with the Holy One.

Last Friday, I was just thinking, "Hey, in all the years I have lived here I have never seen a frog or a toad in the garden." In the summer, we have Colorado River Tosds that come above ground after the rains. Usually near streambeds that quickly dry up after the rain. I live a few blocks away from a rather large river/stream that flows from the mountians, only when it rains though.

In thirty years, I have never seen a toad in my yard.

The very next morning, there on the back patio, to my great surprise was.... you guessed it... a small Colorado River Toad!

I haven't seen him again. Which is fine, because they secrete a toxin if picked up by a preditor. I wouldn't want Spartacus to get sick.

I did think it was interesting that my rather off handed thought, was 'answered' the very next morning.

Isn't it amazing how often that happens? I've sometimes thought about something only to have it turn up somewhere. I think perhaps it's Gods way of showing us he's there.
