God who sees the beginning, middle, and the end, allowed me to grow up on a farm. Some lessons are not taught in a classroom; from 7 a.m. until 3 p.m. The farm was one huge classroom, with nature as my teacher.
On the farm; we had chickens that laid eggs. When it was time for eggs to hatch, the egg shell is always broken from the INSIDE by the chick. The chick MUST break two shells. When the chick breaks the 1st shell, hopefully it is a spot of the egg where a bubble of air “air cell” has formed. It is common for the air cell to be at the side of the largest end of the egg. The chick MUST be in the right position to break the 2nd shell. A wrong position is called “Pip.” In the Pip position, the chick will suffocate to death.
Because the mother hen; can’t rescue her baby. She will make a low clucking sound, anyone who hear it, realizes something is wrong. If the chick is unable to turn itself, a human being can help them. The person must know what they are doing.
My opinion is - the accident left Bob in a “Pip” position in life. His brain was never trained to think logically. If you tried to get him to do something constructive, depression and defiance was his first reaction. His “air bubble” is fantasy land. He is anti-social. He displays emotions only in activities of a child. God; who sees the beginning, middle, and end, knew Bob would end up in a Pip position. As a mother hen communicates with her chick in trouble, one year, a friend from Sacramento, came with a few of her family to wish me a Happy Birthday. One family member, Tracy, who never met Bob, and yet she communicates with him with words of encouragement. Her words put a light in his eyes.
As on the farm, a person MUST know how to rescue a chick in the “Pip position,” so it is with Bob. I must know when to allow him into the world of “make believe.” Instead of letting him stay too long in an unreal world, I remind him of words that Tracy said which helps him hang on to reality.
Bob’s mother isn’t here to help her child. Just as a mother hen in a barnyard MUST depend upon the kindness of a human to help her chick, Bob’s mother is watching from the balcony of Heaven for someone encourage her child every time, I post about him. Although Tracy; is not our flesh and blood, she is the “Air cell” for him. We decided to call her, (without her permission) Aunt Tracy. I believe God wrapped His favor in flesh and blood in a lady we call Aunt Tracy; told her to show Bob compassion and help Bob bear his burden; therefore Bob is NEVER ALONE
