The Reverend Debra Rice
At
one of St. John’s outdoor services, I was preaching about how important it is
to stop and pay attention to God’s voice in our lives, rather than to our own.
At just the right moment it was as if God said, “Cue the hummingbird.” A beautiful hummer flew in and
feasted on our altar flowers! He
lingered and seemed unconcerned that I was only two feet away. Just in case we didn’t get the point,
God had sent a visual exclamation point!
I simply stopped preaching, and we all watched in delight. It was a gift from God to stop us and
remind us that He is always present.
