Todd, My Beloved Brother

Todd, my beloved brother
This happening is true
It’s not for the eyes of this world
But especially for you

.....An egg was found in her garden
And placed in her fridge
When she was flying loves banner
On the ‘wind of change ridge’

This egg was forgotten
As home baking had been neglected
Yet her hearts desire
Was that her Masters character be reflected

All of a sudden
A great gust blew her away
Many gave advise
Some associates didn’t stay

“I will change my attitude
And make a magnificent cake
If my example is inadequate
How can I teach others to bake”

So the sugar and butter
Were carefully measured
Then beaten together
In an old bowl that she treasured

This was worn and cracked
And had seen better days
Then she broke the egg
But to her utter dismay
It was runny and stank
And made her feel ill
So she placed the bowl outside
And peered at it from the windowsill

In her unwell state
Did she have the energy
To eradicate this stench
And bake for her family?

.....She had been given a yellow bowl
By her first born daughter
The basics of cooking
Faithfully she had taught her

She removed this bowl
From its hiding place
And began again
Totally dependant upon God’s grace

What a cake!
Totally exquisite
It was devoured by the family
In just one visit

Their beautiful grandchildren
Asked for more than one slice
‘The proof is in the outcome
Was the old prophets advise’

.....So when a rotten egg
Is exposed as spurious
Threatens unity
Refrain from being furious

As a clean new utensil
Formed by The King
Will achieve His purposes
Within The Rest, He brings
