Hello. I am new to the forum. I met Amonhi on another forum months ago. He invited me to join this forum. After a stumbling block or two, I am finally getting around to joining. Thank you, Amonhi. As there is no other misc. forum where I can introduce myself, I felt it appropriate to do so here with a page from my journal.

Today while working on my yard and trying to fix my sprinkler system, I was startled by the flapping wings of a hummingbird above me in my garage. The poor little thing couldn't find its way out and hovered all over the ceiling as it tried to find a way up or out. I thought about how I could get it out, but it was very fast moving. I tried to gently guide it out with my snow shovel but I just ended up scaring it. I was really concerned that I wouldn't be able to safely let it out of my garage. I decided to take a more positive approach. I prayed earnestly in my heart that the Lord would let me just get it with my hand and take it out. I really wanted this little creature to make it out unharmed and this is the only way I could think of to make sure I didn't hurt it.
Lo and behold the little fella perched itself on the wires of my garage door opener above my car and it looked at me. I slowly climbed up on the hood of my car hoping not to scare it. I then climbed up slowly to the top of my car and it still stood there looking at me, not moving. Believe it or not I reached up past the garage door motor and it still did not move. I wrapped my hand around its little body and carefully pulled its tiny feet from the wire with my other hand. I was elated as I looked at the little guy just barely poking its head through my fingers. It was so small. I carefully climbed back down my car and walked outside and released it.
What a wonderful experience that was! I was thankful that God answered my prayer and I know that He cares about all of His creatures, even as tiny as a hummingbird. I know that anything that we ask of God is granted us, if it is expedient in Him.
I still remember peering into my closed fist at its tiny head and watching it look back at me. It was a beautiful iridescent green. I will never forget the feeling that as mindful as the Lord is of all His creatures, He is even quite mindful of little ol' me.

Hello Latter-day Lamanite,
I really like your blog although I have not yet taken the time yet to tell you so. I remember that hummingbird story from September 28 or whenever you originally posted it.
Your comments have also got my mind racing. It is always amazing to me the memories that touch our hearts the most and that we remember for the longest periods of time.
Dimi
