Maybe you did it once when you were a child. You and a friend are playing on the grass in the backyard or in the nearby park, and stumbled upon a bright yellow flower. Your friend takes a donkey from the ground and places it under your sloping chin, looking for a yellow reflection that reflects your love for butter. An innocent scene, but one of them is strong enough to encourage Christian writer Nancy Mary to create a fable between these flower fields and her desire to serve the Lord better. In her pious squid to Jesus, Mary touches on all aspects of her Christian life and how she strives to reflect the love of Christ, making the slang hair more meaningful than the most common weeds.
The donkey is not a very long book, about 100 pages, but in this case, simplicity is definitely an asset. Mary points directly to a dozen vignettes to illustrate her continued walking with Christ, from the individual [including a personal story about Mary's pride, non-Christian confrontation with another writer] to metaphor. Like other spiritual devotions, each chapter ends with a related prayer, calling the Lord's guidance in everyday life.
In one of Buttercups' favorite passages, the author compares himself to a broken pot that is imperfect but can serve God's purpose. This image best describes what Mary wants to convey, and despite our flaws, our actions can produce a perfect reflection of Christ in our lives. Anyone who doubts this will want to pick Mary's inspiring hairs for Jesus.
