Friends sharing friends

I am currently experiencing the honor of "Chicken" sitting.   Their are rewards everyday, they unselfishly leave an offering.
This is not an ordinary "chicken" adventure, they are someones family.  Over the course of a few months I have watched my friend bloom from a dream, a vision, a plan, a purpose, sweat on his brow and now....his babies or ladies should I say are the fruit of what began in a secret place inside my friends heart.  I kept saying to him, outworking, outworking.............how can a house of chickens tell me anything about heaven...............? Lets see what Jesus said.......

Luke 32-35 Mess.  
Jesus said, “Tell that fox that I’ve no time for him right now. Today and tomorrow I’m busy clearing out the demons and healing the sick; the third day I’m wrapping things up. Besides, it’s not proper for a prophet to come to a bad end outside Jerusalem.

Jerusalem, Jerusalem, killer of prophets,
        abuser of the messengers of God!
How often I’ve longed to gather your children,
        gather your children like a hen,
Her brood safe under her wings--
        but you refused and turned away!
And now it’s too late: You won’t see me again
        until the day you say,
    ‘Blessed is he
    who comes in
    the name of God.’”


Since before the foundation of the world God has been ( longing) for a relationship with His children, to call Sons and daughters His own and put His name sealed into their hearts. Gathering, inheritance, safety, sonship, secrets have always been His plan and purpose.  With His purpose is a promise every day, like our egg offering (which is made up of 3 parts) shell, white & yolk.........children look like their Daddy. Spirit, soul & body. Father, Son, Holy Spirit. 3 a governing body. 
I have seen, heard, like a grandparent sharing the creative victories  of their Grand offspring my friends stories.....you ever sit next to one of those proud parents on an airplane?  Who fling out there wallet/purse/no smart phone and by the end of the flight you are on a first name basis with exchanged address and expectations of a Christmas card? 
And to think I am trusted to steward this humble family for a few days............My friend knows what he is sharing......as this morning, I called to them.........I'm coming........Good morning babies..........and they excitedly chuckle, coo & click back until I reach the gate opening them to their freedom.  No worm, slug or crawly thing safe from their keen eyes. Tossed a bit of scratch to them, and at my feet was a whirl of gleaning.
Blessed is he who comes in the name of God............today being His child that is me!  God takes care of us and every creature, letting no sparrow fall to the ground with out His eye upon it.
Just in the few moments it has taken to pen these endearing thoughts, I have been reminded of my relationship with Father God..........I love being trusted...........and He loves trusting us.......
I'll pen again soon............I have a few more days to chat with my new friends....who knows what I'll hear. blessings
