Right place~Right time

     Clearing the sleep from my eyes, I padded down the stairs and out the front door to let the dogs out for their morning business. I just was turning to go back inside when I heard a buzzing sound.  Low and rhythmical, like nothing I normally hear, the sound caught my attention, and as I followed the sound with my eyes I saw it.  Hovering just above the brick planter on the porch was a golden hummingbird kissing my red geraniums good morning, as they shared their sweetness with the rare visitor!  My mouth dropped open and I stood dead still as I watched him sample each flower, moving gracefully from one to the other.  I wanted to savor each moment of this sight, and wished that I could record it somehow to watch again and again.  But the moment was fleeting and soon he was off, disappearing as fast as he appeared. 

 

We don't see hummingbirds in our yard usually.  Sometimes on their way into the area in the spring, and on their way out of the area in the late summer they will "stop by" for a moment, and this morning I was blessed to be there in that moment of time. "In the right place at the right time"......I've heard that phrase over and over again.  I guess you could say that I was in the right place at the right time.......but is there ever a wrong place at the wrong time?  Or a wrong place at the right time?  In God's timing, every place is a right place at the right time, only sometimes we don't see it that way! This morning, I definitely felt like everything was right!  Just imagine what I would have missed, had I gone back into the house.  

The joy of seeing the little hummer drew me outside, and instead of one good thing, I saw many. The sun made glistening sparkles on the lawn as the dew sat on the blades of grass like diamonds. The morning light was shining from the side, creating shadows of cool over the garden.  The chickens were exploring quietly, traveling to the backyard to see what they could find.   The sunflowers in the field had their faces turned east, gathering every bit of the shine..... and so did I, as I closed my eyes and felt the warmth.....and thanked God for this abundance of early morning blessings to start my day!
