I like to think of faith in very simple means. So many times when my faith is tested, I try to remember the tiny mustard seed that can move mountains. I like to find examples of faith in my everyday life. I decided that one of the most simple of God's creatures would help me this week. Do you see him in the first photo? His name is Chewie (after Chewbacca in Star Wars). He has many babies (don't ask me how) who are names Chewie1, Chewie2, etc. These guys visit my tomato plants near the end of the season every year. They are perfect in their design, have a pointy tail and a set of fake eyes near their tale. I have been known to spend 30 minutes at a time at the window watching them. The first two pictures were taken on Monday. The bush was lush and full of green cherry tomatoes. I think that if an animal so small can have faith that the Lord will supply his food until he turns into a moth, my lesson on faith is all spelled out. We had a storm, baking temperatures, and swords and baseballs by the boys threatening his special buffet, but he never stopped eating.
Don't think for a second that Luke didn't pick the red ones. He only had to see that they had a tinge of red and they were picked all season long!
Here he is today. When I checked on him at 3pm, there were three babies and another adult on the plant too. He stopped chewing immediately when I came near him and went into camo mode.
Here is a picture of the vine today...I always make sure that all of them are off before removing the plant. The boys love to help me make sure they're gone.

Good story Heather. I know about those guys on tomato plants. It is amazing how the tiny creatures show us faith.
Chewie...how appropriate! Nice job with the challenge, Heather. Glad to have you back posting with us again!
Love his name!! Good picture of faith!! Even the tiniest things of this earth can show us faith!!
They never give up..and neither should we. Have faith, always.
Great job girl. Seemingly the smallest details in life, are the most important.
