Snip-it from Sandy

Other Snip-its

”Hello Mr. Squirrel! How are you today? I hope you like the french fries, the chicken nugget and piece of toast that I left for you on the window sill! I really don't know if squirrels eat meat but I guess we will see. Oh yes, you like the Chicken nugget! I love it when you visit, it just makes my heart smile. You look so 'bright-eyed and bushy tailed' today...literally! I love watching you come to my window each day searching for food. I love it when I have something to leave for you! It makes me a little sad when you come to visit and you look so distraught because I haven't put your food out yet. Or maybe you just had a bad day in your little squirrel neighborhood. Maybe the acorn stocks are down and the rent has gone up on your tree! Whatever the reason, I hope that you know that I put things out for you all the time, you just have to climb up the wall to get them!”

There is a little squirrel that comes to my window at work almost everyday because I leave him tortilla chips or a biscuit. When he comes up and there is nothing there, he lightly scratches on my window...like "Here I am!"

It got me to thinking about if we were the squirrel in the story and the source of food was God. That's really kind of how it is. He puts things out for us all the time, but if we don't get the answer right when we want it, we get all worried. Sometimes we have to wait, climb the wall and go through a few hard times here or there to fully understand what he is offering us.

On this beautiful day, enjoy it and don't forget to look up to God and see what He has for you!!
Happy Day to ya! :) Sandy

The Lord isn't slow to do what he promised, as some people think. Rather, he is patient for your sake. He doesn't want to destroy anyone but wants all people to have an opportunity to turn to him and change the way they think and act. 2 Peter 3:9
