GOD SENDS A PERSONAL GIFT IN
AN UNUSUAL WAY
Someone in the
neighborhood must love those Werther’s candies because every week I find the
wrappers in my bird baths. Why? Because the resident grackles love to bring
small colorful, shiny objects into the yard and drop them in their water
dishes. Today ended up being a bit of a stressful one because the car wouldn’t
start, so what God had the grackle bring me today was especially delightful and
kept me smiling all day. My present today was a tiny plastic toy that the
grackle dropped in the water dish. It’s only about the size of a quarter, only
a little over an inch tall—a girl with a paintbrush in her hand and a palette
of paints! You know I’m a painter, right? I’ve never had the grackles bring me
something so unusual. Isn’t it amazing? God had that grackle bring me something
so personal just to let me know He cares about me. That’s our God.
It reminds of how the
ravens brough Elijah food when God had him run and hide from King Ahab.
“And it shall be, that thou shalt drink
of the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there.’ So he went
and did according unto the word of the Lord.
“And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in
the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank of the brook. (1Kings
17:4-6).
I
think God gets a kick out of doing unusual things for us sometimes, things that
are undeniably HIM, and sending a grackle with a toy painter girl was certainly
my unusual for this day! It kept me smiling, and I’m getting my car all fixed
up tomorrow.
Love,
Carolyn
