FROG WITH A BIG HEART

"Time's fun when you're having flies."

--Kermit the Frog

Look who came to visit us today.  Tucked away into his tiny little world and nestled in the bosom of a giant heart, this little frog found refuge from his cold cruel world (aka... 3 hungry cats).  One can clearly see... despite his gray slimy exterior... he clearly has a huge heart.  At least that's the reputation he has been tagged with around here.   There is a great artist based out of Breaux Bridge (Kelly Guidry) who makes these fabulous heart sculptures out of wood.  One day at Festival of Acadians, a large heavy heart called me out of the crowd and coaxed me into coaxing my husband to adopt it and bring it home with us.   This giant red heart now hangs from an iron hook with a tiny little crack running through it.  How wonderful to find a piece of art that perfectly reflects your own imaginative world.  We hung it on the garden gate to welcome anyone who wishes to enter its hidden world... A heart to remind us of the Love of the One who created you... The wood to reflect the humility that we need to escape the world and enter a hidden world of treasures....The color red to remind us of the Blood shed for all of our disappointing moments in life ... A tiny crack to remind us of the little cracks that sometimes show up to reveal our weaknesses.  And last but not least... the frog... let us not forget.... the ones that may not be all that appealing on the outside usually contain  an extra-large, super-sized super-grande heart full of love to give.  May I try to remember this when my teens try to convince me that their hearts are not as big as I know they are.  May I remember that no matter how cold and slimy something appears... they too need a place of refuge... and may I always point them to the bosom of the One who loves them!!!!  Who's the frog in your life today?
Hope you have a great day.... and many many blessings from above!
