I came across this idea for a one-legged stool the other day - see the link. Apparently the focus required to stay sitting on one of these helps your brain stay focused on the task in front of you. I don't know how that works in our brains, but it sounds interesting! I know a small hyperactive gentleman and I wonder if it would help him. This stool makes me wonder if God uses this idea on me sometimes - as in "Take away her lazy-boy, and give her just enough to have something underneath her but not so much that she can lay back and check out." I don't like the feeling in my life of "if I shift my weight just slightly in the wrong direction I will fall" but it sure does keep me focused on God! I don't think of times like that as a gift, but maybe they are.
The heron is an example of the essential value of focus!

Shelley. I was remembering that the old milking stool had one leg. However I don't remember using one myself. Thanks for your insightful 'picture' of Christmas.
