When Pigs Fly

We stopped at a kooky tourist stop in th Keys on our first road trip together.  We wandered aimlessly looking at sea shells and shot glasses lining the shelves.   I pushed passed the crowd into the back room of the store, and I discovered a treasure.

In the corner behind all the bric a brac stood a bronze statue of a flying pig.   I immediately wanted to take it home with me.

“Look at the pig,” I said to my man.  He smiled from ear to ear.

For years, I’d wandered through stores alone.  Table for one.

When are you getting married?  my family would ask.

…when pigs fly.

But then one day, I volunteered to decorate a Christmas tree and buy some presents for a needy family as part of a Christmas outreach at the church, and this man showed up with a wickedly irresistible smile.

Suddenly, this little piggie’s wings started to flutter.

Anything is possible.  Some days, it’s hard to believe that. Our hearts become dusty with doubt and disbelief.  We stop praying because we’ve sat on the shelf for too long.

But my God conquered death itself.  He can breathe new life into any situation.

Today might be the day, my friends.  Get ready to fly.

 

Let’s Talk: Has God ever done the impossible in your life?  I’d love to hear your flying pig story.
