If you only pray
when you're in trouble,
you're in trouble.

The squirrel I named “Trouble” is always in trouble because she is the only squirrel who has figured out how to jump from the magnolia tree into the 4 bird feeders, held on a shepherds hook. As soon as I open the door, she flies down to the ground and up another tree and tries to look cute and innocent. Yeah, you'd better pray. I am running out of patience and bird food. :)
When my son was two, he learned A Child's Prayer he recited at night before bed:
Father we thank thee for the night
And for the pleasant morning light
For rest and food and loving care
And all that makes the world so fair.
Help me to do the things I should
To be to other kind and good
In all the things I do and say
To grow more loving every day.
First of all, I love that prayer. And the capture is adorable...I have a squirrel visitor that will come to the porch when I call him to get peanuts...I told my mom that when he sits up and puts his little hands together, I'll give him anything he wants ♥
@linnypinny What a cute story. I love feeding animals so I would give your squirrel anything too. I give my squirrel Stumpy (with a small partial tail) pecans, cashews, sliced almonds and peanuts...not spoiled or anything! LOL!
I love that little prayer too. My mom came across the child's prayer and my son recited it for several years before bed. Maybe I will start saying it before bedtime. :)

Thank you, This squirrel, that causes me trouble, is very cute, poses and gets away with robbing the bird feeders on a daily basis.
