When the African Children's Choir came to Henderson in the nineties to perform, I had the opportunity to have two members stay at our home. They were beautiful, talented young girls. It was quite the experience seeing how they adjusted to an American home.
When we first pulled into the driveway, they were somewhat alarmed by our privacy fence. I assured them it was simply a garden, then a swimming pool on the other side of the fence. I couldn't help but wonder what these young girls had envisioned on the other side.
At one time during their brief stay, a cardinal was persistently pecking at one of my dining room windows. The girls and I ran to the window to see the cardinal fly up into a tree. I told them that the cardinal is always pecking at the window, I guess he wants to come in. Without skipping a beat, one of the girls reached down and opened the window wide and said ,"Let him in, let him in!!!" Well, I shut the window before the cardinal did just that and told her, I didn't want him in the house. She believed having a bird fly in your house was good luck.
Many of us live our lives barrelling through on our own not even realizing that there might be another way, a better way. If we slow down and take the time, we'll hear and be made aware of a tugging at our heart. If we quiet our racing mind, we'll hear our savior asking to be part of our life.
It's never too late to let Him come into our lives. Your life can take on a new dimension if you answer the door to Him. Let Him in, let Him in!!!
Go Celtics, have a great day, luv, Susan
