It Only Takes One Donna Riley

When Arianna and Meems decide to put up a bird feeder outside in the yard, Arianna thinks the birds will come right away. When she asks Meems, her grandmother, when will they come, Meems explains to her, that she will have to wait, but, they will, eventually come. As Arianna waits and watches out the window at the feeder, she becomes concerned, and then worried that no birds will show up. She asks Meems, again, saying it has been days, and still no birds are at the feeder. Meems, knowing that Arianna is becoming impatient, tells Arianna, that she has a story, a story from the bible, about Jesus, and Jesus' disciples. She explains to Arianna, when Jesus started out, it was just Him, then, as he went along, Jesus found His disciples, but not all at one time, it took a little while. After Meems talk, Arianna goes back to the window, and in just a short while, Arianna runs to kitchen, excited, telling Meems to come and look outside at what was going on at the bird feeder. Author Bio: If you look for me, you probably will find me outdoors, floating a river, hiking a trail or wandering around at night looking at the stars. All my books come from things that I have had an encounter with outside, as for one of my books, simply looking out the window at the bird feeder. All my books are inspired by God and all His wonderful creations, here on this earth. My books are targeted towards younger children, I feel one can never be too young to learn about the Lord and all the marvelous things He does. My books are warm, funny and the illustrations are simple and colorful. I am a mother or three daughters, and I have three grandchildren, and one on the way!! You will find my grandchildren in the books that I have written, always inquisitive, and their questions, always, yes always, answered by something that has taken place in the bible. keywords: Jesus, Disciples, Birds, Faith, Believe, Patience, Bible, Granddaughter, Grandmother, Follow
