How Can This Be? Danielle

[Guest guest]

Dearest Danielle:

 

You are such a sweet gift to me, and without a doubt to everyone who knows you. 

I truly do thank God on every remembrance of you, and the creatures large and

small whom you care about.

 

I  love  hummingbirds too and have a story to tell about a particular hummy mom

who had her nest  on our patio some years back.  I watched her build the nest,

sit on her baby eggs and then tend to her 3 (yes 3!) babies so faithfully until

the day that 2 of the babies realized they were old enough to care for

themselves.  But the 3rd baby continued to stay in the nest, even though the

hummy mom had left,  and refused to feed it anymore.  Several times that day she

returned to encourage her 3rd baby to trust enough to leave the nest.  She would

hover there close by, flit away and return, coaxing baby 3 to leave the nest, to

no avail.  Finally at dusk, when I had come to the conclusion that baby 3 might

be spending another night in the nest hungry, mom hummy appeared once again,

hovering at nest level and baby took the plunge and flew off  with  mom

following. 

 

II felt both elated and sad at the same time! And so moved by the nurturing yet

firm approach that hummy mom  took with her baby!  Just as with the story of the

male and female fish and his loyalty towards her, how amazing that Life Lessons

are given to us through the smallest of God's creatures.  Oh the wonder of a God

so big that He uses even the tiniest of His creatures to reveal His love to us!!

I fall to my knees in wonder and praise of so great a God and of all His

creation that reflects His myriad  aspects!  And

your photographs, dear Danielle evoke wonder and worship within me.  I give

thanks for you and your gift that inspires me too!

 

In love with Life itself!
