“The Early Bird … Still gets the Worm”

Apr 11th “The Early Bird … Still gets the Worm”

“Not only “ONE” Bird – but – 3 Birds!”

Here I am – sitting at the computer – this morning – finishing my breakfast – and here comes a very small “BIRD” …

Standing on her tippy-toes – to be seen by me… gives out with a real strong whistle!

I look over my left shoulder and there she is – propped up and on the top of the swinging lamp – giving another strong call – just to me???

Here’s what I think she was saying to me…

“Yesterday you put out some “BIRD FOOD “ and we ate all of it – so what about “TODAY” – are you sleeping on the job?”

Just about then, a very large bird – look like a “BLUEJAY” as we have plenty of them nesting in the nearby trees – decides to chime in, too – saying…

“We would also like to get a fair share of anything – that you might like to give us – as we have big families to feed – those little ones of ours, have such big mouths and they are always squawking about being hungry – and until they are as big as we adults, cannot leave the nest???”

The first small bird is still the loudest and now has another of the smaller size birds joining her, and it now seems, that they are calling all of their family birds, that may be in the nearby trees… to come and join in and so with the three of these birds on the porch – this third “BIRD” and newcomer to the group, just flies down onto the deck and searches the deck…

This is just to see if some crumbs – or leftovers are lying around and about – as this one must be the scrounger – she actually looks into the flower pots and inspects every little nook and cranny – nothing is left to chance when she is around – “if it is possible” … to be found she heads the “DETECTIVES” on duty, “to seek and find!”

So, “NOW” – I feel guilty that I am eating and the poor little “BIRDS” are patiently waiting for some speedy “back porch service”…

So…nothing to do, but stand up and let my “FIRST COMMER” … know that she has my full attention – and if she will… but continue to stand by – she can watch me very carefully get the feeding scoop and fill up her plate – so she at least can say a prayer of thanks to the Almighty…

That she did ask and she did receive – and the Almighty said – that his “BIRDS” would always be taken care of – even though – my breakfast is going to get a little on the cold-side… before I get back to finish it!

“All Creatures – Great and Small…” some where I read or heard that – there may be more that goes with it – but that is all I just thought of – for the moment – but what came to mind is that – if we will just ask with great faith… that we will receive – and… then all of our needs will be met!

The most important ingredient – and you all know… when you are cooking with gas – you do have to be sure all items in the recipe are taken care of and remembered.

“That’s the “SUGAR” in the pudding – one must always start with “Thanksgiving” – Praise – Honor and Glory!

Give that first to the Almighty in your “PRAYER” – and you will find that your “PRAYERS” are answered – and so much faster!

“All – “Creatures Great and small” – all ask and all receive!”
