A Simple Piece of Grass!!

It is just a little piece of green grass, about an 1/2 of an inch wide. If you put it between your thumbs and blow through the opening you can make a very LOUD noise. You can do this if you have/ or had a dad that can teach you how. My dad was visiting me a few months back and we took a walk. I picked up a blade of grass and performed the trick that he had taught me so many years ago. He looked at me dumbfounded. "Can you still remember how to do that?" "Sure", I said "I never forgot how." He got chocked up a little and just smiled. Somehow this meant a lot to him. It was a small little thing, but he was pleased.


My dad was very busy when I was growing up. I remember him working all the time to take care of us. I don't remember when the enemy started lying to me about how my dad did not care for me. I grew up under the shadow of an older sister and when my little brother came along I always thought he was "the one." The all awaited for male child. There I was stuck in the middle. The enemy told me I was not needed or wanted. And I started to believe it. I suppose that I held on to the "grass trick" like it was me playing a concert piano. It was something my dad taught just to me. Crazy I know but I have been (sorry for the silliness) blowing on grass all my life. My friends think it is funny and it really embarrasses my kids.

Whats the point. I just wanted to let all you girls know how wonderful you are made. Palms 139 tells us that we "where knitted together in our mothers womb". The enemy will tell you so many lies about your imperfections and that is all they are..lies. I can prove to you that God made you just they way you are. Silly "what you call imperfections" and all!

Moses said "Lord I am not any good..I can't speak well, I have imperfections that just won't work for you"..look it up he really said something like that. (Exodus 4:10) What was God's response? He basically said "who made your mouth (and every other mouth on earth my addition)? Who has made the deaf and blind? (Exodus 4:11) God has made you just the way you are. And it is perfect for him. He can use you and your life to make others see the Glory of the Lord. Through you people can be saved and can have a better life! That alone should just quite enough for anyone! (And we still get to eat ice cream!)

So back to my grass! Ok that that does not sounds so good! When I thought that I was no good God showed me that I was and he has used me in ways I could have never fathomed for myself. Blowing on grass is just a very tip of the ice burg of many things I can do well. I am not bragging, God has reveled these "talents"to me and I have obeyed, followed, and use them to suit his needs. I will toot my grass the rest of my life. Just picture it, an 80 year old women blowing grass!!! hahahahaah
