Sitting on our front porch, my wife said the grandgirls had named this little squirrel “Whiteberry,” a funny furry name for such a cheeky critter. Every day, she tossed seeds near the birdhouse, and Whiteberry grew from a shy squirrel to a brave explorer, scampering close to our steps in anticipation of more goodies.
One sunny afternoon, while I played with AI art on my laptop, my wife suggested that I create a painting in the style of Beatrix Potter. Suddenly, Whiteberry wore a tiny white apron with a bow, sitting on the porch step. Around her, colorful flowers bloomed, a bright butterfly fluttered nearby, and a cheerful yellow bird perched on the birdhouse, making it a funny furry fable come to life.
The butterfly flapped its wings and asked, “Hey Whiteberry, are you baking something tasty today?” Whiteberry giggled and replied, “Maybe some acorn treats! Want a nibble?” The yellow bird chirped, “Yum! I’ll sing a silly song to celebrate!”
The garden glowed with magic—flowers danced, and the birdhouse seemed to hum. But then, it all faded back to normal. Whiteberry was just a squirrel again, flicking her fluffy tail, looking a bit sad. “Oh, just a funny furry fable dream,” she sighed.
The butterfly landed on a real flower and said, “Maybe, but look at these pretty flowers! Aren’t they lovely?” Whiteberry gazed at the bright blooms and listened to the bird’s cheerful tune. She smiled, realizing real life is as fun as a funny furry fable.
The butterfly nodded, “Nature’s full of funny furry magic if you look close!” As the sun shone warmly, the sounds of the nearby forest patch wrapped around them, proving everyday moments can be as delightful as a funny furry fable.
“The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it.” — Psalm 24:1
This reminds us that while funny furry fables are fun to imagine, the real world is a gift from God, full of wonders to explore! And, more importantly, we can have a personal relationship with the Creator through His Son, Jesus Christ.

Dear God, thank you for squirrels like Whiteberry and pretty flowers, and beautiful butterflies. Help me see the funny furry magic in my world every day, but more importantly, realize that you are not a fantasy, but the One Who created it all, and that you offer Salvation for eternity through Jesus Christ that will eventually lead to a home in heaven with ten times as many magical moments as this funny furry fable! Amen!
