Well this isn't a picture of the neighborhood hog but it has the same markings just on a bigger scale. We haven't seen the hog since Easter and we have thought for sure that he had been eaten. It's just a habit to look over to his pen and scan the area with your eyes searching for him. Well today I saw him laying in the shade. HE'S ALIVE!!! I was so excited. I know it may seem silly but he's just part of the neighborhood.
I think this can remind us to never lose hope. We may think all is lost and things are over but we only see a glimpse of the big picture. We must pray even when we don't see them answered. We must believe in things we yet can see. We must trust in the One greater than ourselves. Then we will be amazed by His mercies and faithfulness in our daily lives.
