Fresh Mannaby Pastor Tim BurtThe following is a true story sent to me by one of my Fresh Manna readers. I am reprinting it by request. I thought it would bless you.My younger sister Nancy was diagnosed with breast cancer five years ago (followed by a lumpectomy and radiation). Than at age 52, she found out that the cancer had returned so she had a double mastectomy. Nancy and I have a lovely amazing cousin named Donna who is in her middle 60s. She is one of the very finest, wisest, and most loving people we've ever known. She and her husband Wesley have an orphanage in the jungles of Ecuador raising abandoned boys from the streets of Quito. When she heard about my sister Nancy's condition, she sent her this note.Hi Nancy, I was thinking of you and feeling deeply for you this a.m. and I decided totell you a story.Upon returning to Ecuador from the States early this month, as we approachedour residence, we found 32 bags of chicken poop that was placed by thegate. Believe it or not...it was a gift. It was some of the nicest chicken poopI have found since living here. It was well aged so it didn't have thatterrible stink and didn't attract many flies. How nice.
Why in the world would this be a nice gift? Well, we have lots of mandarin orange trees. Our trees were not doing very well, and some were even dying. The oranges were small and not very tasty. Wesley was talking to some friends aboutthis, and they said chicken poop was the 'answer'. These bags don't usually come for free...not sure how much they cost, but probably over a dollar a bag...so what a nice gift that these thoughtful people had for us when we returned!
