A mamma cardinal came to see me in my woodshop. Three times she came inside and gathered from the wood shavings on the floor. God was providing for her with the waste I produced. How clever He is. I saw His beauty, His provision for me, and His direction in those few moments. I cried. He sees me.

Proverbs 14:23 AMP "In all labor there is profit, But mere talk leads only to poverty." I heard it explained on YouTube the other day from Myron Golden. He said that all work works--if it isn't working for you, it's working on you. I'm experiencing both...for sure.

So most recent chainsaw carving is in honor of that sweet little mamma Cardinal--a bright red daddy Cardinal!

This video is less than a minute. Come on it and see the Cardinal unfold from a piece of firewood.
