A squirrel in my backyard suffered a grievous injury. He lost the use of his back legs. Maybe a storm blew him out of the tree and he landed hard. In any case I saw the squirrel pulling himself along with his front legs. Hw looked pathetic. He had to be in trouble. A squirrel with only two working legs seemed like a squirrel with a death sentence. I figured his days were numbered.
Every morning I eat oatmeal and I add apple to my oatmeal. I started putting the left-over apple peel next to a tree where I knew the squirrel lived. The peel was missing after a few hours. A month later I saw the squirrel with only two good legs. He looked fat! But he was still able to pull himself up the tree. The squirrel was climbing down the tree and eating the apple in front of me. He seemed to be looking at me.
Recently I found some pecans in a metal canister in my house. I added them to the apples. The squirrel became more confident about looking directly at me. Did the squirrel understand I was leaving the food? Does this qualify as a miracle? I don't know.
