GailFriends - God is Extravagant! By Gail Golden

Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.
Matthew 7:7 (NIV)
Black Point Drive is a part of the Cape Canaveral Wildlife Refuge and home to hundreds of Florida’s birds, as well as migratory birds in winter. On a Saturday drive through the area, my husband and I spotted a roseate spoonbill in a mangrove bush about a quarter mile away. I grabbed my camera and snapped a couple of pictures before the beautiful pink bird flew away.
Oh, Father, I prayed, please let me see another spoonbill. They are so rare and I really, really, want to see one up close. We drove on to see hundreds of ducks swimming along in a perfect row, one behind the other, like soldiers. We photographed egrets fishing in the shallows, cranes and storks roosting, and even a great blue heron very close up, but no spoonbills. I felt very blessed to have seen one that day. Thank you, Lord, I prayed. It was such a treat!
Just then, we rounded a curve to see a wondrous sight: perched in the mangroves within fifty feet of the road, sat dozens of bright pink roseate spoonbills. As I quickly snapped pictures, I thanked God for blessing me with not one bird, but a whole flock! I was humbled that He’d heard my prayer, and reminded to tell Him my every need, because my Father is extravagant!
