The Chicken Has Hatched, not a perfect chicken, part hard boiled and maybe a little rotten but this egg had been sat on too long and it was time to break it open and let it go.
There are no true winners with what could have been a great celebration. Sadly, this egg had too many flaws that didn't allow this chicken to fly, walk freely among other chickens and grow into one great Hen. It's been said that the choices we make are what makes us who we are, makes up our character, our life. Sadly everyone that had their turn sitting on this egg didn't live up to their responsibility. Some sat diligently, keeping the egg warm, nurturing it in every way, loving it, giving it all the care and tenderness of a mother. Others ignored the time that was theirs to sit on the egg, letting it feel unloved, cold, lifeless.
So the chicken has hatched but with mixed emotions. Some claim hold of the chicken saying, hey I didn't have to do my part but I am part of the chicken coop, so the chicken is mine. Others who diligently sat on the egg and nurtured it in every way, celebrate the life of the chicken, grieve at the process of it's time in the nest, but let it go to make it's way into the future and be the best chicken it can, not being distracted by its flaws but giving it all the love it deserves.
The moral of this special event......Hmmmmmm........Maybe.....
Our choices do show our character....
We do reap what we sow, maybe not at the birth of this chicken...but...somewhere down the road......
Those who know the truth, KNOW the truth and the truth will set us free.........
and
Sometimes we just have to let go.......
And The Journey Continues..........
