WE HAD QUITE A STORM OUT HERE ON NORRIS LAST NIGHT. GINA WOKE ME UP WHEN THE STORM WAS AT ITS WORST. THE THUNDERING, LIGHTNING AND HAIL HITTING THE ROOF HAD HER QUITE CONCERNED. ONCE THE NOISE SETTLED DOWN, WE WENT BACK TO SLEEP AND ALL WAS WELL. THIS MORNING, I WALKED OUT THE BACK DOOR, JUST LIKE I DO EVERY MORNING, AND SAW ALL THE DAMAGE THAT THE STORM DID TO MY BELOVED FLOWER BED. NEEDLESS TO SAY, IT IS A MESS. BUT THATS OK TOO, THE SUN WILL WORK WONDERS ON MY PRETTY LITTLE BLOOMS TODAY.
THE BIRDS ARE WHAT REALLY CAUGHT MY ATTENTION THIS MORNING. YES, THE BIRDS. EACH MORNING WHEN I WAKE UP, A STILL, SMALL VOICE TELLS ME ALMOST IMMEDIATELY EXACTLY WHAT I WILL TYPE UP ON THIS KEYBOARD. THIS MORNING WAS NO DIFFERENT. THIS MORNING, IT WAS THE BIRDS, THE BIRDS, THE BIRDS. PLEASE DONT THINK THAT I AM LOSING MY MIND OUT HERE IN THE COUNTRY. IT HAS BEEN OUT HERE IN THE COUNTRY THAT I HAVE FINALLY FOUND SERENITY AND PEACE OF MIND.
AS I HAVE WRITTEN BEFORE, MY DAD HAS MARTIN HOUSES IN THE BACK YARD. MY SON BUILT A HOUSE FOR BLUEBIRDS OUT THERE AS WELL. MY GRANDMOTHER ALSO HAS SEVERAL HUMMINGBIRD FEEDERS PLACED AROUND HER PORCH NEXT DOOR. BIRDS ARE EVERYWHERE THIS MORNING. I CAN HEAR THEM CHIRPING OUT THERE FROM WHERE I SIT HERE AT THE COMPUTER DESK. THEY ALL SEEM TO HAVE WEATHERED LAST NIGHTS STORM QUITE WELL. THEIR HOUSES ARE ALL INTACT. THEY ARE BUSILY ATTACKING THEIR FEEDERS. I WATCHED A MOTHER BLUEBIRD BRING FOOD TO HER BABY WHO HAD HIS HEAD POKED OUT OF HIS NEST. THREE DIFFERENT TYPES OF BIRDS ARE ALL HAPPILY EXISTING RIGHT ALONG SIDE OF ONE ANOTHER. IT IS A BEAUTIFUL DAY AND ALL SEEMS TO BE WELL FOR THE BIRDS OUT HERE ON NORRIS.
GOD USED ONE OF THE MOST SIMPLE ACTS OF NATURE TO SPEAK TO ME THIS MORNING. THE BIRDS ALSO WEATHERED A STORM LAST NIGHT BUT YET, THIS MORNING, NONE OF THEM ARE HOMELESS, STARVING OR ANGRY. NOT ONE OF THEM WAS AWARE OF, NOR DID THEY PREPARE FOR THE RAIN, THE WIND AND THE HAIL. THEY DID NOT SOW NOR REAP, YET THE LORD TOOK CARE OF THEM. IF THE GOOD LORD LOOKS AFTER SUCH SIMPLE CREATURES WITH SUCH LOVE AND CARE, HOW MUCH MORE IS HE WILLING TO DO FOR US? FOR US CREATURES CREATED WITH A SOUL, CREATED IN HIS VERY OWN IMAGE!
IT IS MY PRAYER TODAY THAT I BECOME MORE LIKE ONE OF HIS SIMPLE LITTLE BIRDS OF THE AIR. I AM THANKFUL FOR GOD'S ENDLESS PROTECTION. HE HAS SHELTERED ME THROUGH COUNTLESS STORMS. THERE IS NO NEED TO REAP AND SOW, BECAUSE HE HAS ALWAYS ENSURED MY FAMILY WITH PLENTY. I HAVE NO NEED TO STORE UP MATERIAL GOODS BECAUSE THE RICHES OF HEAVEN ARE WAITING. WHAT I DO NEED IS LOVE, FAITH HOPE AND GUIDANCE FROM THE LORD. AND THAT IS HIS SPECIALTY. HE WILL NEVER LEAVE US OF FORSAKE US. JUST ASK THE BIRDS!!!!
MATTHEW 6:26 "LOOK AT THE BIRDS OF THE AIR, FOR THEY NEITHER SOW NOR REAP NOR GATHER INTO BARNS; YET YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER FEEDS THEM. ARE YOU NOT OF MORE VALUE THAN THEY?"
HAVE A BLESSED DAY!
