When Whimsy Visited Me

 

I have toyed with the idea of doing a children's book at a friend's request, and yesterday, I got to meet two of the main characters, so to speak. This is what happened.

 

Yesterday as I was preparing dinner

I looked out of my kitchen window

And what did I see

A tiny Robin looking back at me

I said, Hello little Robin

Are you listening to me sing?

(Something I always do

when I am cooking

But I don't expect little animals

At me to be listening and looking)

Continuing my conversation with the robin

I said, "Well I am singing to my God

Like you all sometimes do."

Then I continued singing the song

The words of which I will write below

And I asked the robin if he wanted to sing along.

Now I knew that the robin could not or would not

Sing along with me

So I almost dropped my fork when

He seemed to join me in my whimsy

For he turned his head this way and that

And, the Robin and I were singing a duet

I know that was something to see.

Then a squirrel came by as if to see

What the Robin and I were doing

As he gathered nuts beneath the tree

He walked up to the robin

And stood still as if mesmerized by our song

As the robin and I kept singing

I thought about how whimsical

This tableau here below must look

To any watchers looking from above

As we lived in our voices in praise and love

After I finished singing my song

He finished his business and flew away

And I was left musing about the

Whimsical happening that touched my life that day.

Now, before you start thinking

I am ready for the loony bin

Take a look at the scriptures that

I have listed below and

Neither you nor I really know

What the robin and the squirrel were about

As they stood outside my kitchen window.©

(Based on Psalm 148:10, and Psalm 150:6)

The Song that I Was Singing

"Victory"

I don't know how

GOD's gonna do it

I don't know when

Or how HE's gonna fix it

I only know

HE's gonna make a way for me

Do it

(Help me sing)

Fix it for me.

 

 

Just thought I would give you a song to sing, and something to chuckle and muse about today, as we find our path through these times.

Seriously, though, wouldn’t it be great if we did praise GOD like HE told everything that had breath to do?

Note - And yes, I have picked out names for the two main characters. So, this children's book may happen, yet. I'll keep you posted...
