A Word from God’s Waiting Room

Building 1 is one of three here at Parkside for Independent Living.   It is the one we live in.  Each building has a name as well as a number.  The name of our building is DEERFIELD.  I was under the impression that someone (probably Marketing personnel) thought it was a good idea for the buildings to have names: they were so they named–Deerfield, Oakview, Meadow Rose.  I really wonder about Oakview and Meadow Rose because residents in those buildings do not have views of oak trees or rose bushes.  That’s why I think Marketing Personnel did the naming.  They just think that way.  Deerfield is another matter.

This morning I exited our building to wait for a van ride to a barber shop.  To my amazement, a small fawn was resting beneath a tree in my full view.  Why do such photo ops occur when your camera is not available?  I thought about the camera capability of my cell phone so I tried it–to no avail.  The image on my phone was so blurry, I could not discern what the desired object was. That shouldn’t surprise me as I’ve never gotten a good pic on that thing.

Well, now I know something about the origin of the name of our building.  We can see deer on occasion.  But, you know, I don’t think this present marketing staff had a thing to do with its name.  The building preceeded them by several years and that’s a fact. 

From God’s Waiting Room, you only have to open your eyes to see all sorts of things–moving van, cars, people, and once in a while a deer, another of God’s creatures.  God is good, He is always good.  We, too are good.  Love you much.
