My Little Omelet


'I flip 
my little omelet 
in the frying pan 
for the love of God.'

Brother Lawrence

  1. That quote is great!! Love it. And how it condenses the smallest act in our days as an offering to God! Thank you, Nancy, for this reminder to be fully present in our moments....! The painting is, once again, magnificent! The light and skin tone and the beauty of the girl. Even the potatoes are felt....God Bless..

    1. Thank you. Yes, it's such a simple quote, but to me quite profound. And I love the painting too. I found a couple that looked a bit more like eggs were actually involved (smile), but they did not 'grab' me at all. This one definitely does.

  2. Nancy, it never fails to delight my heart that we have a God Who isn't the least impressed by the "big" stuff in the world, and is much more charmed by little things done with love....like the flipping of an omelet. Thanks for sharing this sweet thought! xoxo
