Do Not Worry, My Friend

"Would you like to go on a journey with us, Fawn?" asked Bramblewood.

"Where are you going? Fawn questioned.

"We are traveling beyond my yard to see the wonders that lie ahead." said Bramblewood anxiously. "We leave early tomorrow morning. I have never traveled past my own boundaries. I have asked the Forest Guardian to come along just in case I need assistance."

"I see." said Fawn with a smile. "One can never be too careful when exploring the world." Fawn thought about how to approach Bramblewood then said, "You know BrambleMouse, fear is a funny thing. It has little to do with size. Some of the smallest creatures are fearless. Some of the bravest souls are those least expected to be. Are you a brave soul, BrambleFriend?" asked Fawn.

"Well, brave enough to face whatever may lie ahead." Bramblewood said bravely. "I am brave if I need to be!

Fawn had to keep from laughing. "Then I must go also!" said Fawn. "There is safety in numbers and we can be brave together!"

Soon, their journey would begin. Bramblewood began to think about the kind of creatures they may encounter along the way and nervously said, "One never knows what one might find in distant lands. Of course, there could be gentle creatures like Fawn but there might not be."

Fawn knew the land well and knew the creatures that lived throughout the forests and villages. To Bramblewood a few may seem strange, but I doubt they would be fierce, thought Fawn with a chuckle. Even still, he is willing to face the unknown and that can be a very scary thing for a little mouse.

A mouse's ears are quite attune to sounds, you know, and the slightest of noises they can hear and that can lead Bramblewood to all sorts of imaginings. The same is true for humans. Our strengths, our talents could also become our weakness if we rely on only ourselves and not on Jesus for support and direction. It makes for a happier mouse, and with people. . .for a much happier life.

Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
(Matthew 6:34)
