An owl in the fireplace

We have had an exciting weekend at the house in the forest again. The weather has been wonderful. The leaves of the trees are starting to bud. Many flowers are in full bloom. The air is filled with songs of many birds. And our house was filled the noise of happy grandchildren!

Four o’clock in the morning, my grandson Jakob, woke me up. He had something exciting to tell: "There is a owl in the fireplace!" I couldn’t believe him. I thought he was having a dream. But he insisted there was a owl in the fireplace. Eventually I got out of bed and walked into the hall to see for my self. First I heard the noise coming from the fireplace. Then I could see through the glass door something moving inside the fireplace. Jakob was absolute right. There was a living owl in the stove! It wanted to come out. I opened the front door first, then I open the glass door of the fireplace, and the big owl flew out into the night. What an exciting experience!

I wonder if this incidence has any prophetic meaning?

    An owl means wisdom and wisdom has taken place in your cabin. Then you want other people to have the same wisdom, so you let the owl come out in the night.
    Wisdom is the light which light up the darkness!ü

    It is better with an owl in the fireplace than dwelling with a brawling woman in a wide house. (Proverbs 21:9)
    Slightly modified from the KJV
