My Platypus Life

My favorite animal…

Posted by: Goldie on: March 9, 2008

platIs NOT the Goldfinch!  While I love that cheery little bird, with the bright yellow feathers and sweet song, the platypus has always held the #1 place in my heart.  Why?

The platypus is an animal that upon first glance looks like it doesn’t make sense.  It has the fur and tail of a beaver, feet like an otter, and a duck’s bill.  -Whew!-  What an eclectic creature!  And yet within that strange compilation lies an intricate master plan.   God gave her all the tools she needed for the life she would live.

I could probably say I am an unusual person.   People quite often don’t know what to make of me.  My Dad calls it “Not boring”.  And so sometimes I feel like I just don’t fit.  What to do with my webbed feet and duck bill?  And then I look at the platypus and I smile.  God has a plan.

 “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”   Jeremiah 29:11
