Don't you just love a cute birdhouse?
I clearly remember the day I realized I could spend an afternoon looking at birds and flowers blooming and not be bored. It made me think of my Mother-in-Love, Shela. She loved watching the birds. They really are entertaining.
A bird house provides a place for cavity nesters to nest. Shelter and safety are important to most living creatures. We all need a quiet place to call home. We all need a place of respite and restoration.
This is a scripture I have loved since childhood. It has always calmed my spirit with the simple truths stated.
“Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?" -Matthew 6:25-26
Birds appear so free to be. They take the delights as they come and work through the challenges with persistence. We can learn by watching them. We can often find them fluttering around a cute birdhouse.
Today, I am grateful for a cute birdhouse.
