Manna

When I woke up, I noticed out the bedroom window some white fluffy stuff on the grass.  My first thought was lint from the dryer hose,  but out that window is a different side of the house from the hose location.  It looked like a lawn mower had chopped up some tissue.   I went out to investigate.  It was moist like some kind of dew, so I figured that was what it was.  I thought it more or less melted in my hand.

Gerry came home from getting the oil changed.  I asked him if he had noticed it.  He had not, so he went out to check on it.  I told him I thought it was manna for my birthday!

He touched it, picked it up, and said,  "It doesn't exactly melt, it is fibrous!  Must come from a tree."

"See, manna with fiber!"

When he left to go to his work, I went out again and walked around the house.  There was manna on all four sides of the house,  both in the shade and in the sunshine, at 10:00 a.m.---a little late for dew, and 70 degrees.   And that is some tree that can deposit on all four sides of the house!

We don't believe in the supernatural in today's world.  We believe in science.  I'm sure there must be some scientific explanation.  But since I do not know what that is,  I chose to believe that I have received manna on my birthday, as a reminder of all my abundant blessings.

Even so, I'm not brave enough to eat it!
