The Bird Prophesying Spring

 

Daily Gratitude Year 12 - Day 58: Today, I am grateful for the bird prophesying spring. 

"The sun is bright, the air is clear, 
The darting swallows soar and sing, 
And from the stately elms I hear 
the bluebird prophesying Spring." 
-Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.

I heard them today. The chatter was clear. The birds and their songs filled with hope and good cheer. 

They woke up and discovered they could not help but sing. Hold on to your hats... we swiftly approach the Spring. 

Savor the moment. Lift your face to the sun. 
Savor the reprieve, Winter is not done. 

“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? -Matthew 6:25-26

Today, I am grateful for the bird prophesying spring.
