| even city birds know they can find food and a place to rest |
“Look at the birds” – it’s a phrase I often hear in my being. These
words are a reminder for me to take my eyes off myself, to notice the attitude
and conduct of my feathered friends. Have you noticed how birds never seem to
have bad days? I do, but they don’t.
I was thinking back on a walk with some of our grands last spring. The
leaves hadn’t engulfed the trees quite yet. When things are bare, things are
visible.
One of our granddaughters noticed a bird nest in the bare branches. She
said, very matter of factly, “When I’m a baby bird I can live there.”
These are the simple words of an imaginative little girl.
She went on to find different sized nests for her big brother and baby
sister; each with the same explanation: “When brother is a baby bird he can
live there. When sister is a baby bird she can live there.”
when I’m a baby bird, will I choose to fly?
it’s the nature of baby bird, you know, but he likes the feathery warmth
of the nest,
the security of being mouth-fed a worm
baby bird is curious, though, watching each time mother bird uses wings
to fly
so, baby bird chooses longing to fly over the fear associated with
getting out of the nest
when I’m a baby bird, I will choose to fly!
Here’s the bottom line, when I look at the birds my disquieted anxiety
starts to blow into thin air. These creatures give me a unique look at the One
who spoke it all into existence.
…If he looks after them, of course He will look after you.
Matthew 6:26
I am a baby bird –
Missy
