This is what I allowed Annah to have upon waking for breakfast. Its not ice cream....it is yogurt....Breyers all natural.... but still...I know. She designed it. Her throat was "burning" and achy and she said she needed ice cream. She hasn't discovered yet that its frozen yogurt. And sometimes after eating it, I wonder too if its not really ice cream with just maybe one culture in it to allow it to be called yogurt. I once watched a Bill Cosby movie and his wife had made him fix breakfast so he gave the kids cake... he said "Hey, it has eggs and flour and oil"..... And if you think about it....think about it real hard... I mean seriously, whats the difference in having pancakes or cake ....its the same ingredients only one just seems wrong....but they are essentially the same...cake has sugar but pancakes have syrup.... lots of it... and lots O butter....donuts or frozen yogurt.... donuts seem accepted in this society but 'ice cream' ... bad mommy. :) 
Just finished reading this book.... I don't typically read novels but something about it just drew me... its about a young (horribly abused) girl in the early 1900's who is fixing to walk past a penny but she is compelled to pick it up.... in the event of bending down to pick it up sets of a series of events that ultimately changes the entire course of her life. What I really loved about this book is that throughout her life, in times of difficulties or distress a penny would just show up somewhere... and she came to see it as God showing her He saw her, loved her, cared for her.... I have that same thing in my life regarding the Blue Jay.... Its too long of a story to share but God gave me a miracle and it involved a Blue Jay... and it was indeed a miracle...and every since then... when I see a Blue Jay...it feels like God is sending me a note. I stand amazed at how the God of the Universe will intervene in our lives involving even the smallest of care, the smallest of emotions... the smallest cry. He involves Himself in His children. Each of our paths are different but His love is extraordinary for us. His grace is extraordinary. His care is extraordinary.

I love John 6:37 too, its very very comforting!
ReplyDeleteSpanish class is over and now I am just waiting to go to Costa Rica in July to test my skills. :)
Yogurt for me is in the same category as blue cheese. I made the mistake of lokking at both of them under a high power microscope!
ReplyDeleteThat is one of the best pictures of a blue jay that I have seen!
poor Annah with her sore throat, hope the frozen yogurt helped her to feel a bit better; I think when they are under the weather and might not feel like eating, a favorite food might be a bit comforting
ReplyDeleteGod always does watch over his children, indeed, and he always knows what we need at the right time; his timing is always perfect indeed
Like you feel about blue jays, I feel about hawks. God sent me one when I really needed it (it wasn't the hawk per se but the miracle it was like yours) and now when he sends me hawks, I know he's telling me he loves me and is there for me. Maybe one day I'll share my hawk story :)
betty
Now that's my kind of breakfast!
ReplyDeleteI hope Annah feels better.
Butterflies are Blue Jays to me.
