Minnows and Manna
The life of an Egret…
Can you imagine
what life would be like
as a Louisiana Egret?
One of those southern natives
landed 10 feet from my car,
the other day,
while driving down
our long gravel road.
He just stood there
and stared at me
for a good 5 minutes!
I felt like the Lord
was slowing my hurried heart down
and corraling its beat
into a moment of sweet.
So, I just sat there
and stared right back…
listening for that still quiet voice
to speak…
“You’re going to paint this guy”
“Really?”
His message came as the painted layers
began to process and translate
this orchestrated Egret moment
into the English language…
The LORD ever so gently
unveiled a vision
of HIS manna
falling from the sky…
filling the Egrets world and mine,
his basket and mine,
his heart and mine.
His Word criss crossing our minds
and filling it with HIS peace.
Minnows and Manna!
That’s the take home nugget…
and what I yearn to catch
on a daily basis!
This Egret inspired this little gal
to look for His message
in all my circumstances…
and in whatever crosses my path!
Look at the birds.
They don’t plant or harvest,
they don’t have storerooms or barns,
but God feeds them.. And you are worth much more than birds.
– Luke 12:24

Thank you Aunt Patty! I love that you are surprised… in a good way! Now what about Jimbo doing that interpretive dance of this egret? Is that a good surprise too for the lucky person who adopts this piece?
